In Mo's own words

My name is Mohamed Aboshanab, known locally as Mo. I’m standing as an independent candidate for Canary Wharf because I believe this area deserves practical leadership, not party politics.

I live locally and work with residents, entrepreneurs, and families across Canary Wharf and Tower Hamlets every week. Through my work and community engagement, I hear the same concerns again and again: rising service charges, poor accountability from developers and managing agents, safety and transport issues, lack of real engagement from councillors, and decisions being made without residents’ voices.

I am standing as an independent because I do not answer to party whips, donors, or national agendas. I answer only to residents.

My priorities are simple and focused:

Strong accountability for developers, estate managers, and housing providers

Fair service charges and transparency for leaseholders and renters

Safer streets, better lighting, and visible local policing

Protecting local businesses and supporting independent traders

Ensuring Canary Wharf residents have a real voice at Tower Hamlets Council

Practical solutions, not ideology

I believe local government should be about listening, solving problems, and delivering results. Canary Wharf is one of London’s most important economic hubs, yet too often residents feel ignored. That needs to change.

If elected, I commit to being accessible, visible, and accountable. You will see me on the streets, at meetings, and challenging decisions that do not serve our community.

This campaign is about residents first, always.
