The former Brexit Party leader finally put rumours to bed by releasing a statement yesterday in which he said it was "not the right time" for him to return to frontline politics.
He suggested he was too busy helping Donald Trump's US election campaign.
Former Cabinet minister Nadine Dorries yesterday blasted Mr Farage for being "unpatriotic". But his announcement is likely to have been met with a sigh of relief among Tories.
Mr Farage even claimed that Rishi Sunak had called the snap election over fears Reform UK would spend a further six months eating into their vote share.
He said: "I have thought long and hard as to whether I should stand in the upcoming General Election.
"As honorary president of Reform UK, I am fully supportive of Richard Tice's leadership and urge voters to put their trust in him and Lee Anderson.
"I will do my bit to help in the campaign but it is not the right time for me to go any further than that.
