Blackburn Mayor will stand at local elections | Lancaster And Morecambe Citizen

Councillor Iftakhar Hussain
A MAYOR who quit his post after he was caught attending a wedding during the national lockdown has been readmitted into the Labour Party and will stand in upcoming local elections.
Councillor Iftakhar Hussain suspended himself from the group after he was caught out by police at a wedding with up to 30 other people in attendance in February. He, along with eight others, were issued with £200 fines.
At the same time Cllr Hussain resigned as Blackburn with Darwen Borough’s ‘First Citizen’ and an investigation was launched into his conduct.
However it has now been established that the Bastwell and Daisyfield councillor has been reinstated into the party and will stand again in the forthcoming May elections, after spending the last two months upholding his role as an independent.
