Zainab Olamide Asunramu
Labour candidate for Thamesmead East
I've grown up and live in Thamesmead.. I have worked in a variety of human rights organisations, charities as well as in Parliament, advocating for the very communities I am a part of. We are all frustrated by the lack of care and consideration we have been shown by Conservative-led Bexley Council. If elected, I will strive to be a visible, vocal and passionate voice for you.
