Freddy Vachha is a British businessman and a retired academic and politician who served as Leader of the UK Independence Party from June to September 2020.
[3][4] Vachha was the UKIP candidate for Chingford and Woodford Green in the 2015 general election, standing against Iain Duncan Smith who was serving as Secretary of State for Work and Pensions at the time and coming third, behind the Labour Party UK candidate.
During a hustings event, citing Hansard he said that inter-community relations in Palestine suffered because of mass immigration during the first half of the 20th century.
[10][11] He was elected unopposed as leader of UKIP in June 2020, saying that the party "went astray quite a few years ago" and that under his leadership he hoped it would "return to our libertarian freedom-loving principles".
Vachha, potentially facing a year's delay on the High Court Chancery List backlogged due to the COVID-19 pandemic, then discontinued the action, stating in a press release of December 1, 2020 that long before the case would get heard, the party would be effectively defunct.
