UK politician wins parliament by-election with pro-Palestinian campaign

London, Mar 1 (UNI) UK politician George Galloway has achieved a sweeping victory in a by-election to the House of Commons in the Rochdale constituency, making support for the Gaza Strip the pillar of his election campaign.

The by-election was needed to replace Rochdale's Member of Parliament, the Labour Party's Sir Tony Lloyd, who died in January. Galloway, who started his political career in the Labour Party but was expelled in 2003 for criticising then-UK Prime Minister Tony Blair's stance on the Iraq War, established his own Workers Party in 2019.
