Green leader announces candidacy for Starmer's seat in British Parliament

Público3 September 2026 at 12:47

The Green leader announced her candidacy to fill Keir Starmer's seat in the British Parliament. This race comes in the context of a by-election in London.

The by-election was triggered by the resignation of the former Labour prime minister. Keir Starmer, who was the MP for that constituency, left the seat upon stepping down from office.

Berry intends to be the ecologist left's candidate in this election. The article suggests there is interest from the Green party in putting forward a candidate under these extraordinary circumstances.

The resignation of the former Labour prime minister thus opened an opportunity for a dispute between different political forces for the parliamentary seat.
