Zack Polanski, the Green Party leader in England and Wales, has received backing from local party members to stand as a candidate in the upcoming Holborn and St Pancras by-election. This development brings Polanski a step closer to potentially becoming a Member of Parliament.
The by-election was triggered by the resignation of Keir Starmer. Polanski has been actively campaigning in the Holborn area alongside fellow Green, Hannah Spencer, and is reportedly giving serious consideration to putting his name forward for the vacant seat. The support from local members indicates a strong internal push for his candidacy.
