Sagal Abdi-Wali Wins Starmer Seat to Boost PM Andy Burnham

World12 days ago

A local councillor and Somalia-born refugee captured 12,292 votes to become the new Member of Parliament for Holborn and St Pancras. Sagal Abdi-Wali will enter Westminster when parliament returns from recess on Monday to fill the seat vacated by former Labour leader Keir Starmer, fending off a strong challenge from the left-wing Green Party.

The victory provides a political lift for Prime Minister Andy Burnham, as Labour’s 45.0% vote share retained the seat the party has held since 1983 despite a 3.9 percentage point drop. The Greens finished second with 32.7% of the vote, a 22.3 point surge that doubled their previous support. In other results, George Galloway recorded his worst ever Westminster election outcome, and the Restore party lost its deposit after polling fewer than 700 votes.
