It is an honour for me to be appointed as the Workers Party of Britain’s candidate for Member of Parliament for West Croydon.

Full statement

I am extremely proud to share the values and vision of our party leader and seven-time MP, Mr George Galloway; a man that whose decades long struggle against apartheid and Human rights is simply unparalleled.

With an entrepreneurial career that spans more than two decades, I have created and grown businesses both home and abroad. I have interests in the Legal and care sectors. I firmly stand and vouch for the notion that our country must prioritise its spending on its own public as to being party to the continuous and unwarranted military operations conducted abroad, killing tens of thousands of innocent women and children in the process.

Under my tenure, I shall instil my focus on listening to and addressing the issues presented to me by my constituents; I shall aim to hold three weekly surgeries with the view to address the large variety of complaints and issues put to me by the public during our campaign. I look forward to establishing myself as a frequent and a potent voice for Croydon, inside the Houses of Commons. I shall use my experience in the legal sector with the view to lobbying pressing and sensitive issues such Immigration and housing disrepair.

I have always led from the front in all aspects of my life. During the forty-three times that I have been around the Sun, I have not felt anything more rewarding than to spend my time and energy on Charitable causes.

Education and healthcare are critical areas where I believe we can make significant improvements. I shall lobby and push for policies that provide parents with more choices and more importantly control over the content of their children's education and the important decisions that need to be made on their behalf.

I shall focus on promoting the youth to be actively engaged in sports and vocational training with the view to encourage early interest in career development, focus on job creation and stamped down the levels of high unemployment which serves as a catalyst to soaring crime rates.

I was born and raised in London; Apart from my mother tongue, I have a strong and fluent command over Urdu (written and spoken), Punjabi and Hindi (spoken).

I shall serve my constituency with a colour blind lens, championing the virtues Justice and Equality for all constituents of West Croydon regardless of their race, gender, creed and faith; whilst never forgetting the great benefits and privileges this country and its people have bestowed on my.

I look forward to getting on with it on the 5th of July 2024.

Ahsan Ullah.
