With Farage's new party taking most of their former vote, the 2019 European Parliament elections saw UKIP wiped out completely (it was only defending three seats as all their other [=MEPs=] had left the party), sparking off the fifth leadership election in less than four years due to Batten losing his own seat -- with Batten's replacement, Richard Braine, resigning from the party after just two months as leader following accusations of stealing party data. He was eventually replaced by Freddy Vachha in 2020 (after a period of time with Patricia Mountain as interim leader), only for Vacha to be suspended and be replaced by Neil Hamilton three months into his leadership; Vachha maintains that he is still UKIP's leader. Many current and former members now acknowledge that UKIP is effectively dead as a serious electoral force, something only emphasized when the party finished ''behind the Monster Raving Loonies'' at the Brecon and Radnorshire by-election in August 2019, and then gained only a paltry 22,000 votes nationwide at the general election later that year.
