Manchester’s Greens may have fallen short in the mayoral race, but another electoral opportunity is knocking.

The Manchester Mayoral election was always a long shot where tactical voting probably helped work against us. This by-election is probably the first real indicator of how well support for the Greens in Manchester city holds up under Burnham's premiership.
Best of luck to Daoud
Daoud is a great candidate.
Dynamic, he buzzes wth energy and fun, and is keen to listen to residents, and to take action to improve people's daily lives. He would be such a good councillor for Burnage!
I spent polling day knocking doors in Burnage when Hannah Spencer won. I heard residents, one of whom was a Labour member, saying they never heard from their Labour councillors. The energy and hard work that Hannah has brought will no doubt be helped by electing Daoud in Burnage.
💚 Incredibly honoured that I will be the Green Party candidate for the up-coming Burnage by election on Thursday September 10th
Green Family - Thank you! I promise, I will not let you down. But I do need your support. One last time this year. Join me - let’s go win this 💪🏼💚
I am horrified by the deadly attack at the Islamic Center of San Diego, an apparent act of anti-Muslim violence.
Islamophobia endangers Muslim communities across this country. We must confront it directly and stand together against the politics of fear and division. My thoughts are with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community grieving this devastating attack.
The NYPD is increasing deployments to mosques across the city out of an abundance of caution. There are currently no known threats to NYC houses of worship.
