The Electoral Commission has found no “credible evidence of potential offences of electoral law” over Nigel Farage’s election expenses.
The watchdog said it would take no further action in a letter to Reform UK’s treasurer, shared with the BBC.
Essex Police said last week that it would not investigate the matter because more than a year had passed since the alleged offence.
The election agent for Nigel Farage in Clacton, Peter Harris, said the complaint had been “politically motivated”.
“The facts are clear, the process has been properly followed, and there is no basis for any further allegation, inference, or repetition of these claims,” he added.
