British-Bangladeshi politician and MP for Hampstead and Highgate since 2015
A by‑election has been set for 8 October after Sir Keir Starmer has resigned as MP. Labour has selected Camden council leader Sagal Abdi‑Wali and the Greens have chosen leader Zack Polanski, turning the contest into a high‑profile test of Andy Burnham's early premiership and the Greens' electoral momentum in inner London.
