I have been selected to contest the City and East constituency in the
London elections on May 1. I am determined to remove the invisible New
Labour man who currently occupies this seat, only representing the
interests of his party's friends in big business.
I have lived and worked in east London most of my life. I was raised
and educated in Tower Hamlets. After acquiring a BA (Hons) in Politics
and History, I started working at the Foreign and Commonwealth Office
(FCO).
I am currently on a sabbatical from the FCO, raising a young
family of three boys with my wife Aisha and working part time for an
international charity.
Over the years I have worked as a youth and community worker in
Islington, Newham, Greenwich and Tower Hamlets. I moved to in Newham
2001 where I became one of the three first ever elected Respect
Councillors.
In my spare time apart from dealing with local ward issues, I help run
voluntary youth and community projects aimed at empowering young
people and women to fulfil their full potential.
If elected I will be the voice of the working class millions of all
races and faiths and not a puppet of the millionaires.
