Rahman Gone in Tower Hamlets
|
The mayor of Tower Hamlets, Lutfur Rahman, has been found guilty of corrupt and illegal practices by an election court judge, who has declared his election void.
Richard Mawrey, the election commissioner, said the conduct of Rahman’s supporters on polling day has caused “considerable disquiet” and corrupt practices had “extensively prevailed”.
Four voters took legal action against Rahman, the independent mayor of the east London borough, at a hearing in the high court.
They had asked Mawrey to declare the result of the May 2014 mayoral election, which saw Mr Rahman elected for a second term, void and order a re-run.
Mawrey said Rahman had been an “evasive” witness and that he had ignored and flouted laws.
He suggested that Rahman, who was born in Bangladesh, had played “race” and “religious” cards and had been guilty of “corrupt practice”.

Lutfur Rahman has denied that there was ever any electoral fraud in his election as Mayor of Tower Hamlets "I can assure you there was no possibility of the vote being fixed as I personally filled in all the ballot papers myself." he said.

Shocking really & fair play to the 4 that brought the case.
I was open minded on this in the sense of his guilt or not as I didn't know what real evidence they had beyond just claims.
I don't know all the evidence that was produced ,but given the few damming comments I've read from the Judge & the fact he's banned from standing from office, I can only assume that there was a lot ! I hope the DPP are all over this to see what he can be further charged with.
Will doubtless go to appeal first & really hope the race card that will be played is ignored by all in the community , but I seriously doubt it.

Just waiting for his mates Livingstone and Galloway to come out from under their rocks to spout their views of this process.

His deputy who has the same surname is refusing to apologise to the electorate and refusing to accept the decision. Just hope this cunt doesn't get back in when they re run the vote.
