Nigel Farage Attended Davos 2026 Using HP Trust Delegate Pass Linked to Sasan Ghandehari
Farage’s attendance at the World Economic Forum came under a pass sponsored by HP Trust, with conflicting statements over whether he has held an advisory role since 2018.
Nigel Farage attended the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos-Klosters, Switzerland, during the conference dates of January 19 to January 23, 2026, using a delegate pass sponsored by HP Trust, a family office associated with British-Iranian venture capitalist Sasan Ghandehari.
Public descriptions of the arrangement include statements that Farage attended in an unpaid capacity described as an “honorary” adviser and that Ghandehari covered Farage’s travel and accommodation connected to the trip.
Alongside that account, another set of statements disputes whether Farage has ever held any advisory role with HP Trust, including whether he advised the firm at any time since 2018.
Separately from the dispute over his status, Farage was listed in Davos materials as a UK Member of Parliament and as an HP Trust representative.
The trip also drew scrutiny because public information about Farage’s interests and roles is governed by UK parliamentary disclosure requirements, and the contested point is whether an advisory relationship exists that would be required to be declared.
HP Trust is described publicly as a family office overseeing and advising on Sasan Ghandehari’s investment and philanthropic activities, with a portfolio described as exceeding $10 billion and investments spanning sectors that include energy, real estate, and telecommunications.
Confirmed vs unclear: Confirmed details include Farage’s attendance at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting 2026 in Davos-Klosters from January 19 to January 23, 2026; the use of a delegate pass sponsored by HP Trust; HP Trust’s association with Sasan Ghandehari; and statements that Ghandehari covered Farage’s travel and accommodation while describing Farage as an unpaid honorary adviser.
What remains unclear is whether Farage has ever held an advisory role with HP Trust and, specifically, whether he advised HP Trust since 2018, because public statements about that point conflict.
