The polls are now closed and it's waiting time.

I want to extend my utmost thanks and gratitude to every single person who has played a part in this campaign. Together, for over 18 months, we've transformed the face of Southall politics. We've formed a true alternative to the status quo and given our community another option. We've shaken up the systems of old and I'm truly proud of the character and class with which every single one of you has conducted yourself during this campaign. We should all be proud of our efforts.

Never again, will any Labour MP take his constituents for granted in Ealing Southall.

To all my campaign team, my supporters, friends and family, it is because of you that I am here and it is due to you that I have achieved any level of success. I am indebted to you all.
