Green Party leader Zack Polanski intends to stand in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election following Sir Keir Starmer’s resignation as an MP.
The prospective candidacy would put Polanski into the contest for the seat previously held by Sir Keir, the former prime minister. The vacancy has arisen after Sir Keir stepped down from Parliament.
Holborn and St Pancras is now set to be the focus of a by-election, with Polanski seeking to run as the Green Party’s candidate. The supplied information does not include a polling date or details of other candidates.
Polanski’s move is significant because it would place the leader of the Green Party directly in a parliamentary contest for a former prime minister’s seat. His intention to run marks an early development in the race following Sir Keir’s departure as an MP.
Further details about the by-election timetable, candidate confirmations and campaign arrangements have not been provided in the source material.
