Overview
- Mohammad “Baggy” Khan, newly elected to Bolton’s Halliwell ward with 1,752 votes, posted video of himself driving a Lamborghini Huracán Spyder soon after his win.
- The supercar is reported to deliver roughly 15–23 miles per gallon and about 638 grams of CO2 per kilometre, far above an average new car.
- Khan replied to online criticism by asking, “Who said councillors can’t drive cars like this?”
- Media report the Green Party is conducting an internal review and that Khan, the party, and Greater Manchester Police have been asked for comment, with no disciplinary action announced.
- Some outlets say the Lamborghini footage appears to be from a 2023 wedding and may involve rented cars, a detail reported without independent verification, as opponents highlight Green plans for zero-emission-only sales by 2027 and 55mph limits on major roads.
