I am Irakli Menabde, and I am standing as the Parliamentary Candidate for Queens Park Maida Vale under the Workers Party banner.

Full statement

My candidacy is driven by an unwavering commitment to addressing the critical issues facing our society, with a particular focus on the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The plight of the Palestinian people is not just a distant concern but a pressing issue that demands immediate action and a principled stand from our leaders. I am dedicated to advocating for a just and lasting peace in the Middle East, and I believe that the UK must play a proactive role in facilitating meaningful dialogue and humanitarian support for Gaza and ending the Genocide. We are the Party that stands for this in the current elections.

In addition to my political activism, I bring a wealth of experience from the business sector. As a successful entrepreneur in London, I have firsthand knowledge of the challenges and opportunities within our economy. Running a thriving technology-focused business focused on residential property investing has equipped me with the skills to understand and address the economic needs of our community, particularly the need for better and more social housing. I am committed to leveraging my business acumen to foster economic growth, create jobs, and support local enterprises in Queens Park Maida Vale. My goal is to ensure that our community not only recovers from economic hardships but thrives in a sustainable and inclusive manner.

My academic background at Oxford University has provided me with a solid foundation in critical thinking and problem-solving. This education has honed my ability to analyze complex issues and develop innovative solutions. At Oxford, I was deeply engaged in discussions about global affairs and social justice, which further fueled my passion for public service. I am dedicated to applying the knowledge and skills I gained during my studies to serve the people of Queens Park Maida Vale effectively.

As your representative, I will be a strong and vocal advocate for social justice, economic prosperity, and international solidarity. I am committed to working tirelessly to address the needs of our community, from affordable housing and quality healthcare to education and environmental sustainability. Together, we can build a better future for Queens Park Maida Vale, grounded in the principles of equity, justice, and compassion. I humbly ask for your support and your vote in the upcoming election to make this vision a reality. I encourage you to all research your candidates and make the right choice if you want true change.
