I think that most of us are aware of UKIP's track record in terms of internal elections, and the resulting arguments. We can bet, therefore, that one or more candidates will put in a complaint about this (rightly).
One could say that it is the responsibility of the electorate to thoroughly investigate the candidates, but given that the rules state that they will be informed by the party about multi-constituency candidates, they will incorrectly believe that there aren't any in their region. Thus the party is actually misinforming the members about candidates, rather than omitting information.
Hence the Returning Officer will have a genuine problem - the party has misinformed the party members about the candidate regarding an issue many will see as significant to their voting intentions. I would be amazed if the other candidates don't make a fuss about this.
