The proceedings were straightforward and adhered to the traditional protocols of the House. Called to the table by the Speaker of the House, Farage, accompanied by his supporters, proceeded down the center aisle of the chamber.
In a brief and solemn moment, Farage took the oath of allegiance. Holding a religious text, he recited the required pledge: “I swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.”
Following the oath, Farage signed the official parliamentary register, a formal act solidifying his status as a Member of Parliament. He then briefly approached the Speaker’s chair, exchanging a few words before returning to the floor.
The ceremony was brief, and the atmosphere in the chamber was composed as Farage completed the necessary procedural steps to assume his office. This event officially begins Farage’s tenure in the current Parliament, where he will represent his constituency and lead his party’s legislative efforts.
