The independent candidate in the West Midlands mayor elections is standing in the general election
Akhmed Yakoob, a lawyer, will be standing in the General Election in Birmingham Ladywood, which is currently held against by Labour's Shadow Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood.
He's got a very good chance of taking the seat. In the West Midlands mayor elections, Yakoob got 40.1% of the vote, compared to Labour on 27.9% and Conservatives on 23.1%.
Of course turnout was much lower in the West Midlands mayor election compared to what it will be in the general election. Labour will also try to squeeze the Conservative vote.
Thank you, friend!
