Saiqa Ali
Green Party councillor for Streatham St Leonard's
Term started: 7 May 2026
Local leadership should be about people — compassion in action, fairness in every decision. Through my work with SWAN and in local community projects, I’ve seen the strength of people coming together – from supporting families through food banks to empowering women and young people. I’m standing for the Greens because we deserve a council that listens, acts with integrity, and puts people first.
