Fatima Safa Ali
Labour candidate for Manningham
My name is Fatima Ali and I was born and raised in Manningham. I attended Iqra Academy and grew up in the heart of this community, where neighbours looked out for one another and where I developed a strong sense of pride in our area. Inspired by my father’s well-known community work, I have been involved in local grassroots campaigning from a young age. I am currently studying Applied Science and hope to work in healthcare, driven by a passion for helping others. I am standing because I care deeply about our community and the people who live here. Having grown up in Manningham, I understand the challenges local families face and the importance of having someone who listens and takes action. I am committed to being approachable, hardworking and present, and I hope to earn your support.
