Zack Polanski has been elected as the new leader of the Green Party of England and Wales following a vote by members.
A joint ticket bid by two Green MPs, Ellie Chowns and Adrian Ramsay – standing as co-leaders – lost out to Mr Polanski, who is a member of the London Assembly.
The new Green leader has spoken of wanting to steer the party towards what he has described as an “eco-populist” position.
He has also suggested he is open to co-operating with former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn’s new party, an alliance which could provide a headache from the left for Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour Government.
Mr Polanski won with a vote of 20,411 members, a vast majority over the 3,705 votes cast for Mr Ramsay and Ms Chowns.
