Green Party leader Zack Polanski is campaigning in Urdu for the Holborn and St Pancras by-election in London. Multiple outlets report that Polanski has released a campaign video in Urdu urging voters to support him in the contest.
The coverage says the video is published on Polanski’s “Bold Politics” podcast channel on X. The Daily Mail frames the move as targeting Pakistani voters, while the Times of India highlights the Urdu-language campaigning more generally. Both accounts link the effort to the election date, which they state is October 8, and identify the seat as the constituency that includes Holborn and St Pancras.
Outlet emphasis differs in wording and inferred audience. The Times of India focuses on Polanski’s use of Urdu to campaign, whereas the Daily Mail explicitly describes the tactic as aimed at Pakistani voters and contrasts his candidacy with Labour’s position for a seat previously associated with Keir Starmer.
