The Labour Party shortlisted Councillor Ahmed Ali as the candidate for councillor in Rusholme Ward for the 2027 local election of the Manchester City Council (MCC). He was selected unopposed, and no other party member stood against him during the Labour Party meeting, which was held at Birch Community Centre, Brighton Grove, Manchester. The Labour Party Branch Secretary Sohayalla Wilson, Cllr. Jill Lovecy, Cllr. Ahmed Ali, Tajammul Gurmani, Sajjad Hussain, Noor Jehan, Shaifta Khan and other members attended the meeting.
Addressing the participants after his nomination, Councillor Ahmed Ali said his fourth generation is living in Rusholme, and it’s a blessing. “I have served in local government for 45 years and have been serving the community for 14 years as a councillor. My motto is to help others. There are different issues, and one of the key issues is rubbish and fly-tipping. My goal is to clean up the area. Greening and cleaning is my motto,” he stated.
