Labour candidate Sagal Abdi-Wali has secured victory in a closely watched north London by-election, defeating the Green Party’s Zack Polanski to retain the seat for the party. The result marks a shift in local political dynamics, as the Greens had previously been seen as strong contenders in the area.
