英国霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯选区的补选投票于周四晚10点截止1，结果预计在周五凌晨2点30分至4点宣布1。这场补选成为新任工党领导人安迪·伯纳姆担任首相近三个月来的首次重要选举测试1，也考验着工党能否团结选民以及绿党是否能从工党进步派中争夺支持1。
工党候选人是42岁的卡姆登议会领导人萨加尔·阿卜迪-瓦利1，他试图保留前党首基尔·斯塔默的议席1。斯塔默在2024年大选中以超11000票的多数优势赢得该选区1。最新YouGov民调显示工党支持率27%，领先绿党16个百分点1。绿党领导人扎克·波兰斯基成为工党的主要挑战者1。绿党在2月的戈顿和登顿补选中推翻了工党的多数优势，这给了他们在本次补选中的信心1。
该选区的人口结构特点明显，约50%的居民年龄在18-34岁之间，约45%在海外出生1，这一构成吸引了绿党的竞争策略。绿党党大会投票通过将锡安主义等同于种族主义的政策，投票结果为1022票对813票1，这一立场在选区内可能产生政治影响。
Voting concluded Thursday evening in the Holborn and St Pancras byelection, with results expected to be announced between 2:30 a.m. and 4 a.m. Friday 1. The contest represents a significant political test for new Labour leader Andy Burnham, who took over as party head in July following Keir Starmer's departure 1.
Labour is defending the constituency vacated by Starmer, the former party leader who secured a majority of over 11,000 votes in the 2024 general election 1. The party's candidate is Sagar Abdi-Walli, a 42-year-old leader of Camden Council 1. However, the Greens present a formidable challenge through party co-leader Zack Polanski, particularly given recent momentum: the Greens overturned Labour's majority in the Gordon and Denton byelection in February 1. The latest YouGov polling shows Labour with 27 percent support, maintaining a 16-point lead over the Greens 1.
The constituency's demographic composition—approximately 50 percent of residents aged 18 to 34 and roughly 45 percent born overseas—along with its substantial student and young voter population, presents both opportunities and vulnerabilities 1. The race has also been influenced by broader party tensions, including the Green Party's decision at its conference to equate Zionism with racism, approved by a vote of 1,022 to 813 1.
