He ran as the Green candidate for the Lancaster Gate by-election in 2018 and contested the Cities of London and Westminster parliamentary seat in 2019. Polanski's breakthrough came in 2021 when he was elected to the London Assembly, followed by his election as deputy leader in 2022 and re-election to the Assembly in 2024. Under his leadership, the Greens have achieved historic gains: Hannah Spencer won the 2026 Gorton and Denton by-election, party membership exceeded 220,000—triple the figure at the start of his term—and the party achieved its best results ever in the 2026 local elections.
