Holborn and St Pancras by-election – reside: Polls shut as Labour and Greens go head-to-head in Starmer’s ex-seat

The Deputy Labour leader Lucy Powell MP has praised tribute to Sagal Abdi-Wali as polls close.

In a statement, she said: “Sagal came to Britain as a child refugee, fleeing a war-torn country. Educated in great Labour Camden schools, she’s been giving back to her local community ever since.

“Sagal has campaigned positively on her plans to move Camden forwards, by ending rough sleeping, taking on vested interests in the water industry, and ensuring every young person has the opportunity they need to thrive.

“If the voters of Holborn and St. Pancras put their trust in Labour, I know that Sagal will work hard every day to make life better for each and every person across the constituency.”
