Mohammad Ilyas

Mohammad joined the Liberal Democrats in 2002 and has never been a member of any other party. He is a firm believer in having a fair, free and open society for all regardless of class, colour or religion. A hard working individual who has strong beliefs of liberal values, Mohammad is a firm believer that local people need a change that offers hope for a better future.

Mohammad is an experienced campaigner and represented the Liberal Democrats in the Park Ward, Calderdale as a Councillor from 2008 till 2012. The seat had previously never been held by the Liberal Democrats, having always been a Labour strong hold.

Mohammad feels that Halifax needs a local campaigner who lives in the area and is willing to fight for the local people. Over recent years, he has campaigned on many local issues. These have included:

Talking to local faith groups into understanding the liberal rights of gay men and lesbians.
Fighting to provide necessary parking for local residents.
Successfully campaigned to remove illegal dumping in local area.
Mohammad is of Pakistani origin and moved to this country in 1973. He currently lives in Halifax and is married with 4 children. He is self-employed and runs a Driving School.
