Former actor fights seat for Green Party

THE Greens have chosen former professional actor Dawud Islam as their candidate in the Bradford West by-election.

Mr Dawud, 49, moved to the city in 2010 and is a former Green town councillor in Bath.

He is predicting a lively campaign, not least because of the presence of ex-MP George Galloway, the Respect candidate.

“(His) entrance will no doubt liven up the campaign but I would remind people the Green Party is for life, not just for Christmas.”

The main parties have chosen their candidates for the March 29 poll. Labour MP Marsha Singh stepped down last month because of ill health.
