Murad Gassanly

2026 Pimlico South Candidate

Dr Murad Gassanly is a familiar face on the Churchill Gardens estate, having served as a dedicated local councillor from 2014 to 2022. A passionate advocate for leaseholders and renters, he served as Deputy Cabinet Member for Housing and chaired a Licensing Sub-Committee. His priorities include tackling rising service charges and major works bills, scrapping Labour’s PDHU replacement plan and ensuring value for money for council tax payers.

Murad says, "Despite promising the earth, Labour have not delivered for Churchill Gardens, Pimlico and our great city of Westminster. If anything, they have made it worse - more expensive and more wasteful."
