Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will run as an independent candidate in the UK general election, potentially causing an upset for Labour in his long-held north London seat.
Corbyn expressed his disappointment at being excluded from Labour's candidate shortlist, stating he is standing as an independent to advocate for democracy and the rights of the people of Islington North.
Corbyn's suspension from Labour in 2020 due to handling of anti-Semitism complaints was a significant factor in his decision to run as an independent candidate.
An Al Jazeera investigation revealed that senior Labour officials had attempted to undermine support for Corbyn and limit discussions on Israel's treatment of Palestinians, further fueling the rift.
