Along with other colleagues, I became active in securing my local Labour Partys nomination of Jeremy Corbyn to retain his leadership in 2016. Historically, the Tower Hamlets Labour Party was led by the center-left comrades, and Corbyns leadership was not viewed favorably by them.
I was instrumental in ending the special measure that was imposed on the local Labour Party. Special measures meant the local party members were not able to choose their candidates for council elections.
During my tenure as an elected councillor in Tower Hamlets, London, I held the position of Chair of the Licensing and Housing & Regeneration Sub-Committee. I also served as the elected Media and Communications Officer for the Labour Group in Tower Hamlets.
