Lutfur Rahman

Lutfur Rahman (born September 1965) is a Bangladesh-born British former practising solicitor and former politician, who was the first directly elected mayor of the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

He was elected to this office in 2010 as an Independent, having previously been the leader of Tower Hamlets London Borough Council from 2008 to 2010 for the Labour Party. He was re-elected at the 2014 mayoral election, but the result of this election was cancelled and declared null and void on 23 April 2015 when the Election Court officially reported Rahman to be personally guilty of corrupt or illegal practices, or both (electoral fraud) under the Representation of the People Act 1983. He was thus removed from his office with immediate effect.
