A Green Party candidate, Chris Kennedy, withdraws from an unspecified by-election after being selected on Thursday and stepping out by early evening, according to reporting. Kennedy is described as a registered nurse and a child safeguarding specialist. Sources say that before withdrawing, he shared a claim relating to an arson attack on Jewish ambulances, describing it as a “false flag.” The reports state that Kennedy’s candidacy lasts roughly 12 hours. The published accounts focus on the brief duration of his campaign and on the social-media allegation he circulated rather than on additional details about the by-election itself. Across the available coverage provided, there is agreement on the core timeline: Kennedy is selected as the Green Party candidate, he shares the “false flag” assertion concerning the arson incident involving Jewish ambulances, and he withdraws shortly thereafter. The outlets do not provide further evidence in the provided text regarding the underlying arson claim, and no alternative explanation for the incident is included in the excerpts.
