The spin bowler is standing in Ealing Southall for the Workers Party of Britain.
Former England cricket star Monty Panesar is standing to be an MP in London at the election - and has aspirations to become prime minister. The 42-year-old spin bowler announced on Tuesday he will be standing as a candidate for George Galloway's Workers Party of Britain in the west London constituency of Ealing Southall.
'I believe neither the Labour party or the Tories are really helping the working class, and I think I can bridge that gap and make a difference as an MP,' he added. The spinner, also known as The Python and Parmesan Tony , said he has only known Mr Galloway 'briefly' but knows he is focusing on 'reducing the massive gulf between the rich and poor in Britain'.
