Statement to voters

Leaders above all others can create the conditions for people to flourish.

Full statement

Sadly, most British politicians put ambition for personal enrichment, fame and power above their duty to The People. I will be part of a new Parliament that, with your help, will Change Britain for Good.

Britain is facing its greatest crisis since 1939. Every institution upon which we relied has failed. Our nation's leadership has lost touch with the reality of the daily struggles of families, the old, young, vulnerable. Parliament, run by career politicians, many with great wealth, and civil servants, does not represent The British People. They are bent on a course that opposes the freedoms, sovereignty, compassion and care that are the hallmarks of our way of life, and the reason so many people are drawn to the UK, thousands doing so illegally with no intention of integrating or showing loyalty to our heritage, customs and traditions. We need radical transformation, A People's Parliament, made up of truly Independent MPs." I am determined and passionate to serve as a member of that TEAM, committed to Change Britain for Good.

​Get in touch and be part of this vital Revolution in Britain's Politics - a transformation of our nation that will create a more hopeful and just tomorrow by the actions we take today!

What kind of Leader is Chan Abraham? Here's what the public, tenants, staff say in their own words...

"Oxmoor…deprived, rife with crime, drugs and ill health exacerbated by sub-standard housing conditions has been transformed by the dedication, hard work, leadership, encouragement and caring attitude of one man who has encouraged and facilitated the various statutory agencies. As far as the many residents of Oxmoor are concerned – Chan is already our local hero."

​"Chan leads us in a culture based on trust, where all our staff are part of the family. We work in an environment where, passion, pride, courage and integrity are part of who we are and the way we do things. Chan models this behaviour, leading us in changing ourselves and in making the difference where we are. Chan cares about each and every one of his employees. He knows each one of us and will often walk through the office asking how our family members are (by name) and we know that we truly are members of the family."

​"Chan’s focus covers all staff as everyone can meet with Chan if they need guidance or advice. Chan has taken a personal interest in my family and supported me when my wife developed breast cancer."

​"Over the years I have been with Luminus I have lost count of the times our people have said how moved they have been by Chan’s personal commitment to their well-being. This ranges from a personal birthday card from Chan to every staff member, a kind word or two about a family member at a chance meeting in a corridor and offers of financial assistance and personal mentoring when any one of our people are facing a personal or family problem."

"As a tenant on the Board closely involved I can state that much of what has been achieved could not have taken place without the vision and drive that Chan has consistently provided."

"I just want to say how grateful me and my daughter…are with the financial aid Chan gave her from the Joseph & Alice Foundation, (which he set up in memory of his parents) and funded personally to help people in need. Without his help she wouldn’t have been able to continue with her hairdressing course at Huntingdonshire Regional College. She talks about the help Chan has given her all the time and has nothing but praise for him. He has given her the chance to make something of her life and we will be forever grateful."

"Hello Chan you will be supported by me and friends. As not many of you will not know the kindness and understanding of Chan goes back a very long way. When my brother was killed in a car crash and Chan gave me all the time in the world to go home to Ireland and was very very understanding of my grief and my Families sorrow. Not only that he is a great kind compassionate Man. Thank you Chan. It would be truly lovely to have you in Parliament. God Bless"

Track Record of Standing For The People & Inspiring Transformation in Neighbourhoods, Communities and Business

"As your MP I will stand fearlessly for you and those you love, holding Government to account for your wellbeing, security and flourishing. I will open up the corridors of power to The People so that The State never again can dictate to you."

Chan Abraham is well-known as a business and community leader serving this area since 1996 WITH A PUBLIC RECORD OF SAVING HUNTINGDONSHIRE FROM LABOUR's DISASTROUS POLICIES AND CONSERVATIVES' MISMANAGEMENT when he introduced initiatives that transformed the quality of life, including giving local people a voice, better housing services and helping public organisations to work in partnership for the benefit of all, instead of wasting public resources.

In 1999 he personally led the area's largest public consultation through scores of open meetings with tenants of HDC's badly neglected 8,000 council homes, independently raising £100 million to buy and repair them. Tenants voted overwhelmingly to become part of non-profit HHP-Luminus that he founded, enjoying a better future with low rents, improved repairs, new neighbourhood services and genuine People Power through seats on the Management Board. He gave HDC a windfall of more than £65 million strictly requiring better local services but this vast sum 'disappeared' into a financial black hole of the Conservative-LibDem-Labour-run council.

​As Director of Community Services he introduced improvements to Huntingdonshire’s leisure services, parks, culture and tourism, established Town Centre Management for Huntingdon (now BID Huntingdon), Community Safety Partnerships across Cambridgeshire so Police, NHS and other public services could work together; and helped release much-needed Hinchingbrooke Hospital beds saving the NHS substantial sums of public money by providing homes for older patients to receive nursing care in the community.

​Recognised as The Man of the People he held Saturday morning conferences and consultation events and kept an open door to all. Government bureaucrats bristled with hubris and jealousy over his innovation, commitment to local people and independent thought, and tried undermine and sabotage his efforts, but he kept his Guarantee to tenants. Luminus was recognised nationally as an example of excellent customer care and staff motivation, twice hitting the No. 2 spot on The Sunday Times 100 Best Companies to Work For, winning the Gold Medal for Health & Safety from The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents for 13 consecutive years and garnering more awards for excellence and inspiration than any other UK business.

Through his Leadership Academy he has trained, developed and mentored hundreds of managers and leaders in councils, Police, businesses and charities, helping many women and men progress to senior jobs. He helped build Huntingdon's Community Radio Studio in Huntingdon Town Centre, initiated extensive community projects including Oxmoor's Maple Centre and NHS Oak Tree Centre; new family, key worker, extra care and sheltered housing; established multi-agency health and children's safeguarding initiatives and apprenticeship schemes for young people; served communities on Mental Health Trust and Schools Governing Boards. and set up two new Charities with the theme of “Inspiring hope, changing lives, transforming our world”.
