In 2026, Niko ran for London Mayor and got 49,000 votes. That’s huge for a prankster. He beat the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party. Wild.
Fast forward to 2026. A fake viral tweet claimed Niko got 27,000 votes in a safe Conservative seat. It wasn’t real. But it spread faster than bad takeout.
People love the idea of a YouTuber beating a career politician. It’s a perfect underdog story. And honestly? It’s hilarious to imagine.
The Internet’s Favorite Lie
The “27,000 votes” number came from a satire account. They photoshopped a tweet from the BBC. Thousands of people shared it. Thousands.
One user commented, “Niko is the future of British politics.” Another replied, “He’s literally just a meme.” Both were right, somehow.

Niko himself never denied it. He just posted a laughing emoji. That’s peak chaos energy.
