Labour’s Quick Comeback in Regent’s Park | London News

Labour’s back in Regent’s Park after Nanouche Umeadi pulled off a stunning comeback, reclaiming a seat lost just months ago to the Greens. Despite losing her own Kilburn seat in May, Umeadi’s grassroots hustle and personal story won over voters in this newly redrawn ward. The race was triggered when Green councillor Mohammed Abu Naser, who’d just been elected, was disqualified for working at a council school — a conflict of interest. He later quit the Greens, endorsing independent candidate Mohammad Junayd Khan, who ran on community pressure. But with both Greens and independents splitting the opposition vote — and turnout low — Labour seized the moment. Umeadi’s swift return proves local politics moves fast, and she’s already ready to hit the ground running for her constituents.
