In Lekan's own words

Lekan Babalola has lived and worked in Crawley for seven years. He is committed to strengthening the local community and ensuring that decisions made at council level reflect the needs of residents.

Professionally, he works as a project manager for a Crawley-based company that has been part of the local area for over 30 years.

He has also been actively involved in the sporting life of Crawley, supporting and participating in a local sports team. He believes that sport plays a vital role in improving both physical and mental health.

“I want to make a meaningful difference in my community in whatever way I can. Over the past three years, the world has changed significantly, and it feels more divided than ever. Seeing injustice both in my local area and across the world has inspired me to step forward and act. I believe that even small changes can have a real impact. If I can help improve people’s lives while working towards this goal, then I will have achieved something truly worthwhile.”
