Farage Targets Six London Councils in 2026 to Set Up 2028 Mayoral Run

He is pitching a ‘broken windows’ policing plan to contrast with Sadiq Khan’s record on crime.

Overview

  • Reform will formally launch its London campaign at the ExCeL Centre next month.
  • The party is focusing on outer boroughs including Bromley, Bexley, Havering, and Barking and Dagenham.
  • Farage says Reform would push zero-tolerance measures, including prosecuting every shoplifting case and phone theft.
  • Despite national advances since the 2025 local elections, Reform holds only six wards across London heading into the May 7 vote.
  • By-election tallies this year show 59 gains for Reform, including seats taken from Labour and the Conservatives.
