Donald Trump led the the congratulations to his friend Nigel Farage on becoming a member of the British Parliament for the first time.
'Congratulations to Nigel Farage on his big WIN of a Parliament Seat Amid Reform UK Election Success. Nigel is a man who truly loves his Country! DJT,' the Republican presidential nominee wrote in a post on TruthSocial.
However in his social media activities, Trump made no reference to new Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Starmer has previously said that his government will work with whomever is in the White House following November's election.
Farage, 60, originally said that he had no plans to stand in the July election, choosing to focus on stumping for Trump in the United States. A sudden U-turn saw him abandon those plans and launch his campaign a month before ballots were cast.
Partial results show the anti-immigration Reform, successor to the Brexit Party, has taken votes from both the Conservatives and Labour.
Farage said the party was 'going to come second in hundreds of constituencies.' It is not yet clear how many seats Reform will win.
He said there is a 'massive gap' in the right of British politics, and it was his job to fill it.
'My plan is to build a mass national movement over the course of the next few years,' he said.
Farage, previously a member of the European Union's Parliament from 1999 until Brexit, has stood multiple times in an attempt to enter Westminster.
The leader of the Reform Party, Farage earned nearly 25,000 votes in Clacton, an area that strongly backed Brexit in 2016.
