UKIP leader Paul Nuttall is to stand as a candidate in Boston and Skegness in the British general election.
Mr Nuttall described it as "a great honour and a privilege" to be standing for UKIP in the seat.
He added: "The constituency voted overwhelmingly for Leave inspired in part by the massive betrayal of our fishing industry by successive governments, something that today's Conservative Party led by Theresa May looks set to repeat.
"I will make it my mission to stand up for the people of Boston and Skegness and ensure there is no backsliding on Brexit."
Sue Blackburn, chairman of the UKIP Boston and Skegness branch, said: "As branch chairman, I would like to say on behalf of the Boston and Skegness branch how delighted we are to have our leader standing in this election and Paul will have the upmost support of this branch."
Corbyn says May is slipping into 'bunker mentality'
Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn said Mrs May is slipping into a "presidential bunker mentality" because she is an insecure leader who wants to feel stronger.
He contrasted his belief in "empowering others to make up their minds and come on board when they are ready" with Mrs May's focus on "sound bites" and squeezing dissent.
But he failed to directly answer a question about whether defeat for Labour, who are still lagging behind in opinion polls, would constitute a bad performance for him and the party.
Mr Corbyn said: "I'm going all over the country, and you know what? - the printed papers say one thing but the mood on the street tells me something very, very different.
"There's a positive energy and a positive anger out there.
"People are fed up - they are fed up with not being able to get somewhere to live, they are fed up with waiting for hospital appointments, they are fed up with zero hours contracts, they are fed up with low pay, they are fed up with debt, they are fed up with not being able to get on in their lives because of a system that's rigged against them.
"And so we have got the rest of this election campaign until June 8 to get that message across."
He added: "Watch this space. On June 8 there's going to be some very interesting stories for you to report."
