Our Mayoral Candidate

Mehmood Mirza

Mehmood Mirza For Newham


Dear Resident,

My name is Mehmood Mirza, and like you, I call Newham my home. For 28 years, I have lived, worked, and raised my family in this vibrant borough. As a proud law graduate of the University of East London, I have deep roots here. My children were born here; they attended Central Park Primary School, Brampton Manor Academy, and Newvic College. As a father watching them head off to university, I am deeply invested in the future of our community because it is the future of our children.

I am proud to have served as the first-ever Independent Councillor elected in the London Borough of Newham for the Boleyn Ward. We are leading the borough, delivering more casework for residents more than any other councillor.

Today, I am standing as Newham Independents Party Mayoral Candidate to offer you a real alternative to the status quo that has governed our borough for 60 years.

Since 1965, Newham Council has followed the same path. If you feel it is time for change, I ask for your vote as a resident-first representative committed to facilitate working class families so they can relax instead of being chased by the system.

WHY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT

Newham Independents?

Activists

We are familiar with the deep inequalities and deprivation experienced here and can always be approached to discuss the issues faced by the constituents.

Newham Independents have rapidly gained the trust of residents by becoming the main opposition on the Town Council and bringing meaningful change to neighborhood governance. Their work is focused on increasing transparency, accountability and introducing initiatives that truly reflect the needs of the local community. Voter support shows that citizens are ready for change and are looking for new and better solutions to everyday issues. The principles behind Newham Independents focus on convenient and safe solutions that make life easier for local residents. Modern technology plays an important role in this, offering practical tools to manage various aspects of city life. For example, in the field of finance, innovative systems that ensure reliability and ease of transactions are attracting considerable attention. One such solution is BLIK - a convenient way of making payments online, and to help, there is a resource proskarzysko.pl, which details the benefits of its use in various online services. The achievements of Newham Independents prove that the implementation of modern approaches and digital tools can significantly improve the quality of life of citizens. Gradual transition to innovative solutions, whether in the field of management or finance, opens up new opportunities for development and comfort, which makes the neighborhood more attractive and convenient for living.
Socialists

We are socialists, politicised by our own lived experiences and we are proud of our history of standing up for our rights.

Campaigners

We have been actively involved in local campaigns to protect public services. Tackling inequalities and standing up for marginalised communities has always been key to us.
