A newly elected Green councillor in Bolton has posted video footage of himself driving a Lamborghini shortly after winning a seat in last week’s local elections. Mohammad Baghdadi Khan, also known as Baggy Khan, shared the video online following his victory in the Halliwell ward of Bolton, Greater Manchester, reports the Daily Mail.

The footage shows Khan behind the wheel of a Lamborghini Huracan Spyder, a model that can cost up to £270,000. The clip also includes scenes from his election win. Reports indicate the Lamborghini footage appears to have been recorded at a 2023 wedding, where several supercars were used to transport guests.



Khan also posted footage of himself driving what appears to be his regular vehicle, a Mercedes with personalized license plates, which was also seen during his campaign.

During his campaign, Khan said that if elected, he would be “standing up for the people, the community, fighting for what’s right.” Campaign materials shared online also included pledges to support “greener spaces” and back higher taxes on “billionaires not workers.”

The party has proposed reducing speed limits on motorways and dual carriageways by 15 mph, expanding 20 mph zones in urban areas, and gradually increasing taxes related to driving. Its official transport policy states: “On major roads outside of built-up areas, the maximum speed limit allowed would be 55mph, to maximise the efficiency of fuel use as well as improving safety.” The policy also says the party would pursue travel “demand management” measures aimed at reducing the “speeds and volume of motorised traffic.”

Another section states: “Road fuel tax is an important factor in encouraging users to be more mileage conscious and to opt for smaller, more fuel efficient cars. The Green Party would increase road fuel tax incrementally.” Khan responded to criticism online by writing: “Who said councillors can’t drive cars like this?”
