Greens Capture Historic Labour Seat in ManchesterThe Greens won 41% in a surprise by-election victory in Gorton and Denton, breaking Labour’s near century-long hold.
- The Greens secured a decisive win in Gorton and Denton, a seat Labour had dominated for nearly 100 years.
- Labour fell to third place behind Reform UK, with Conservatives and Liberal Democrats trailing far behind.
- Prime Minister Keir Starmer faced criticism after excluding Andy Burnham and suffering a direct electoral defeat.
- The Greens expanded beyond their traditional urban strongholds by appealing specifically to migrant communities.
Her Muslim friends and neighbors are 'people like you and me'.— Hannah Spencer, Green Party candidate in the Gorton and Denton by-election, after the election
