The Rochdale by-election winner has taken his seat in the House of Commons today after securing the first ever constituency for the Workers Party of Britain.
Mr Galloway won 39.7% of the vote, beating Independent candidate David Tully and Conservative candidate Paul Elison, to win his fourth seat for a third party.
The contest was dominated by the conflict in Gaza. Labour withdrew their support for Azhar Ali after a recording of him suggested at a meeting that Israel allowed the 7 October attack to go ahead, in order to “green light” an invasion of Gaza.
The by-election was called following the death of Labour MP Sir Tony Lloyd, who had held the seat since June 2017.
