Zack Polanski aims to flip Keir Starmer's seat for the Green Party

In the UK, Zack Polanski has been selected as the Green Party's candidate for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election on October 8. This seat was vacated by Sir Keir Starmer, who resigned to focus on international affairs. Polanski, a London Assembly member, was chosen over Hamza Chowdhury. Labour's candidate is Sagal Abdi-Wali, Camden Council leader, aiming to retain the seat held by Labour since 1983. The Green Party has gained momentum, increasing their local councillors from one to ten.
