Next UK Prime Minister Odds – Nigel Farage Moves to 2/1, with 61% of Recent Bets Now on the Reform Leader
Nigel Farage has surged to the top of the betting markets to become the next UK Prime Minister, with his odds slashed to 2/1 following a dramatic spike in public support, writes Dave James.
According to the latest figures, 61% of all recent bets have backed the Reform UK leader to take the country’s top job, eclipsing leading Labour and Conservative contenders.
Farage’s return to frontline politics has turned the post-election landscape on its head.
The Reform leader has captured the public imagination during the general election campaign – and punters appear to believe that his momentum could carry him all the way to Number 10.
Labour’s Yvette Cooper (7/1, 12.5%), Angela Rayner (8/1, 11.1%), and Wes Streeting (8/1, 11.1%) remain in the running, while Conservative hopefuls such as Kemi Badenoch (10/1, 9.1%) and Robert Jenrick (12/1, 7.7%) are also attracting interest.

Surprisingly, even Boris Johnson remains in the mix at 14/1 (6.7%), though his political comeback seems far less certain.
While Farage remains a divisive figure nationally, the betting markets are treating his political momentum very seriously and for now, he’s the clear frontrunner to be Britain’s next Prime Minister.
