UK Local Elections 2026Background
The Workers Party of Britain is a British socialist political party established by George Galloway in 2019. Its members' Congress elects a National Members Council, which forms the party's leadership body. Galloway founded the party, serves as its leader and stands as one of its election candidates.
The party campaigns and fields candidates under its own name in British elections. It first entered The House of Commons when Galloway won the Rochdale by-election in 2024. That parliamentary result gave a relatively young party national representation. Later contests show its continued electoral activity, but individual results do not by themselves define the organisation's durable identity.
