ELECTED WITH 1,752 VOTES NOW HE’S MAKING HEADLINES FOR A LAMBORGHINI  Green councillor Baggy Khan won a seat in Bolton’s Halliwell ward just days ago, but social media videos of him driving a bright orange supercar are already sparking backlash online. Critics say the images clash with the Green Party’s push against petrol vehicles.

A Green councillor has posted videos of himself  driving a  Lamborghini supercar just days after winning a seat in the local elections.

Baggy Khan, 25, took to Instagram to share snaps in a bright orange Lamborghini Huracán Spyder at a wedding despite campaigning for a party that pledges to remove petrol and diesel cars from the roads.

The supercar, which typically sells new for more than £200,000, consumes around 15 miles per gallon, compared with 38 miles per gallon for an average British road car.

The  vehicle is powered by a 5.2-litre V10 engine, giving it a top speed of 200mph.

Mr Khan was elected to the Halliwell ward of Bolton council with 1,752 votes in last week’s elections, becoming one of 587 Green councillors to gain a seat.

His campaign almost entirely ignored environmental policies and instead focused on Palestine.

The Green councillor has over 15,000 followers on Instagram, where poses next to expensive cars.

Some users have pointed out the hypocrisy of driving a supercar with significantly more greenhouse gases per kilometre than standard passenger vehicles.

One wrote: “Looks very Green!! NOT! What a joke!!”

Another added: “Green Party campaigning against billionaires and driving a Lambo.”

A third added: “Apparently, this man is a Green councillor, is that right?”

The Green Party has faced intense scrutiny and accusations of shifting its focus away from traditional ecological platforms toward identity politics and sectarian campaigning, especially focusing on Gaza.

Since Zack Polanski took over the Party, their recent electoral strategies have triggered significant backlash, including from Sir Keir Starmer and Nigel Farage.

The Prime Minister publicly condemned the Party for engaging in “divisive, sectarian politics” following their by-election victory in Gorton and Denton in February.

In a formal letter to Labour MPs, he argued that the Greens’ campaign tactics prove they “are not the harmless environmentalists they pretend to be” and warned that they were mimicking George Galloway’s faith-based campaigning style.

Nigel Farage branded Green electoral victories in heavily Muslim areas as the result of “sectarian voting and cheating” and further raised questions about democratic integrity by reporting alleged “family voting”.

Furthermore, the Greens advocate a zero-emissions transport strategy that heavily restricts, penalises, and phases out fossil-fuelled vehicles, while explicitly shifting the UK away from private car ownership.

The party demands that all new cars, vans, motorbikes, and scooters sold in the UK must be zero-emission vehicles by 2027.

Any existing petrol or diesel cars would be entirely banned from driving on UK roads by 2035.

Mr Khan has also faced further criticism over a video that appears to show the now councillor filming on his phone whilst behind the wheel.

The 25-year-old previously said: “I am confident that I will be able to prove that I am not guilty of breaking the law. Anyone who knows me will know that I am a clean-cut young man with no criminal record. I give respect to all and am often involved in helping and mediating in the community.

He added: “Labour have framed their story in a fashion to try and tar me with the same brush as those irresponsible drivers who drive at crazy speeds and film themselves whilst putting others at risk, which is absolutely not the case here.

“I got into  politics to help my local communities and to represent young people in politics as many are disenfranchised with the gutter politics that have been carrying on for years.”

The Green Party was said to be “internally investigating” the incident.

Mr Khan, the Green Party, and Greater Manchester Police have been contacted for comment.
