William Kedjanyi, political betting analyst at Star Sports, said: “Following Lee Anderson’s suspension from his post as vice-chairman to the Conservative party last month, the new Reform UK champion has been backed to retain his seat in the Ashfield constituency.
"Anderson is 2/1 to win the Ashfield seat in the next general election as a Reform UK candidate, with his sights set on taking some of the Conservative constituencies that make up the Red Wall.”
Mr Anderson was unveiled as Reform's first MP at a press conference in London yesterday following weeks of speculation.

The former Labour councillor lost the Tory whip last month after refusing to apologise for claims that "Islamists" had "got control" of London Mayor Sadiq Khan.
The former Conservative Party deputy chairman declared "all I want is my country back" as he spoke alongside Reform UK leader Richard Tice.
Mr Anderson added: "People will say that I've took a gamble. And I'm prepared to gamble on myself as I know from my mailbag how many people in this country support Reform UK and what they have to say.
"And, like millions of people up and down the country, all I want is my country back."
It comes as Reform UK is polling as high as 14% nationally and largely attracting disillusioned 2019 Tory voters.
Nigel Farage is honorary president of the rebranded Brexit Party, which came third in two recent by-elections.
