A political party formed by a Polish prince is fielding 48 candidates across 16 boroughs in London for the local council elections on May 3.

Duma Polska, meaning “polish pride,” has put forward four candidates in Waltham Forest.

The party was founded by Prince Zylinski founded the party who said voters are welcoming his party’s fresh approach at a local level and universal call to promote dignity and respect for all minorities in the wake of Brexit.

He said: “Our people are being well-received on doorsteps by English and Polish voters alike. People from across the spectrum are supportive of our appeal for help to protect the rights of all minorities.

“Voters are telling us they are tired of empty promises from Westminster, and they want something different. What we are seeing here is the birth of practical politics at a local level.

“Our candidates are of Polish heritage but they are also Londoners who love the British way of life. We want a safe and clean city for everybody.”
