If he resigned

I don't think he has any option but resign at this stage.

If it was close he might've been okay but Abdi-Wali won with a 3k majority. And this is exactly the type of seat the Greens should be winning.

    Looking at it in isolation, I can understand how it might not seem close, but this is a seat that Labour have held forever (i.e., since 1983) and 3k is the closest margin there has ever been. 2 years ago the margin was 11k (>14k between Labour/Green). These are big gains in a safe Labour seat.
