In a surprising political upset, Hannah Spencer, a candidate from the Green Party, secured the seat in the Gorton and Denton constituency of Manchester, breaking the long-standing hold of the Labour Party in the region. Spencer garnered nearly 15,000 votes, surpassing the right-wing Reform Party, which received 10,578 votes, while the Labour Party fell to third place with a margin of 5,616 votes behind the Greens, indicating a 25.3% decline compared to the 2024 elections. This victory not only marks a historical moment for the Green Party but also sends a clear political message to the incumbent Labour leadership, led by Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who described the outcome as 'disappointing' and vowed to continue fighting for support in the area.
