萨加尔·阿卜迪-瓦利当选为霍尔本和圣潘克拉斯选区的英国工党议员1,接替了前首相基尔·斯塔默的议席1。这位43岁的候选人在补选中获得45%的选票,击败了绿党领导人扎克·波兰斯基,后者获得33%的选票3。本次补选的投票率为38.7%3。
阿卜迪-瓦利的当选代表了一段非凡的人生历程。她在7岁时与母亲和四个兄弟逃离战争中的索马里1,在上世纪90年代定居伦敦北部的Gospel Oak1。经过数十年的志愿服务和本地党派活动,她最终赢得了这个伦敦重要选区的议席1。
工党对这次胜利的解读是,党正在赢回之前失去的左翼选民3。绿党在此前的2月戈尔顿和登顿补选中赢得了一个安全工党席位3,但在霍尔本的失利也反映出该党的困境。绿党在全国民调中从峰值21%下降到约11%3,而波兰斯基因党内围绕锡安主义立场的严重争议而面临压力2。党内民调显示波兰斯基的支持率低于奈杰尔·法拉奇2,犹太绿党主席薇薇安·利希滕斯坦表示波兰斯基应该辞职3。
Sagal Abdi-Wali has been elected as the Labour MP for Holborn and St Pancras, taking the seat previously held by former Prime Minister Keir Starmer.1 The 43-year-old candidate secured 45 percent of the vote, defeating Green Party leader Zack Polanski, who received 33 percent.3 Abdi-Wali's victory came with a turnout of 38.7 percent.3
Abdi-Wali's path to Parliament reflects a remarkable personal journey. At age seven, she fled war-torn Somalia in the 1990s alongside her mother and four siblings, eventually settling in Gospel Oak in North London.1 Her election marks a significant achievement after decades of volunteering and local party activism. The result suggests that Labour is beginning to reclaim voters on the left.3
The by-election also marked a setback for the Green Party, which had recently made electoral gains. The party had won seats in three councils in May local elections and secured a traditional Labour safe seat in Gorton and Denton in February.3 However, the party's performance has since deteriorated, with national polling figures declining from a peak of 21 percent to approximately 11 percent.3 The contest took place amid controversy over a Green Party policy equating Zionism with racism, which intensified internal divisions and prompted calls for Polanski's removal, including from Jewish Green Party chair Vivian Lichtenstein.3 Polanski, who became Green Party leader in September 2025, abstained from voting on the Zionism motion, stating he would have voted against it had he participated.3
