George Galloway Wins the Rochdale By-Election

Workers Party of Britain candidate wins the Rochdale by-election by almost 6,000 votes

Today, we look at the result from the by-election in Rochdale.

George Galloway from the Workers Party of Britain won with a resounding majority. Independent candidate David Tully came second as Labour and the Conservatives only received just over a quarter of the vote put together to come third and fourth.
