Leader of the Workers Party of Britain
As leader of the Workers Party of Britain (WPB), George Galloway has so far led one election campaign: the 2021 Batley and Spen by-election. Polling suggested that the Workers Party would gain just 6% of the vote share,[1] which turned out to be a "radical underestimate".[2] The Workers Party won almost 22% of the vote, with Labour winning with a majority of just 323 votes.[3] Galloway said he would take legal action to challenge the by-election result.[4]
