霍尔本与圣潘克拉斯补选进入最后阶段 工党与绿党正面交锋
据路透社10月7日报道，伦敦霍尔本与圣潘克拉斯选区的议会补选进入选前最后阶段，投票将于10月8日举行。这一席位因前工党领袖斯塔默辞职而出缺。
工党候选人是卡姆登区议会领袖萨加尔·阿卜迪-瓦利（Sagal Abdi-Wali）；她的最主要对手是绿党领袖扎克·波兰斯基（Zack Polanski）。绿党今年5月在地方选举中取得历史最佳战绩，势头正盛，这场补选因此被视为检验绿党能否在工党传统票仓实现突破的试金石。
选战的一大背景是加沙战争。工党在战争问题上的立场令其流失了部分左翼选票，绿党则借此在伦敦等城市选区积极争取进步派选民。两党在住房、生活成本与公共服务等本地议题上也展开了激烈交锋。
补选结果预计将于10月9日（周五）揭晓。对今年7月上任的首相伯纳姆而言，守住这一伦敦核心选区的席位具有重要的政治象征意义。

Holborn and St Pancras By-Election Enters Final Stretch in Labour–Green Contest
The parliamentary by-election in London's Holborn and St Pancras constituency entered its final stretch ahead of polling day on 8 October, Reuters reported on 7 October. The seat was vacated by the resignation of former Labour leader Keir Starmer.
Labour's candidate is Sagal Abdi-Wali, leader of Camden Council. Her principal opponent is Zack Polanski, leader of the Green Party. The Greens achieved their best-ever local election results in May, and the by-election is seen as a test of whether they can break through in a traditional Labour stronghold.
The war in Gaza forms a key backdrop: Labour's position on the conflict has cost it support among left-leaning voters, while the Greens have actively courted progressive voters in urban seats such as those in London. The parties have also clashed over housing, the cost of living and local public services.
The result is expected on Friday 9 October. For Prime Minister Andy Burnham, who took office in July, holding this central London seat carries significant political symbolism.
