My name is Zulfi Khan, an Independent Parliamentary Candidate for Pendle and Clitheroe in the upcoming General Election on 4th July 2024.
I am a local resident of Barrowford, Pendle, having previously grown up and raised in Nelson, one of the most economically challenged towns in the region. As a qualified and practicing Solicitor and Partner of a Legal Practice for over 20 years, I bring a wealth of legal expertise to my community. Additionally, I joined the Board of Governors (voluntary non-paid position) at Nelson, Colne, Accrington and Rossendale College in 2020 where I continue to serve today.
My decision to run as an independent candidate stems from my concerns about injustice and the lack of representation in our current political landscape. I believe that both major political parties have failed to adequately address the needs of the Working Class, leading to issues such as the rise in dependence on Food Banks, escalating taxes, and declining public services. Anti-social behaviour is on the rise, with slower Emergency Police Response Times and overcrowded hospitals struggling to meet patient needs.
Despite living in a developed country like the UK, it is clear that significant improvements are required in terms of our Public Services. My aspirations are for us to enjoy a better quality of life so that we are not just surviving but we are actually enjoying our lives here in the UK. I am committed to advocating for a New Politics, a New Way, and real change for the people of Pendle and Clitheroe.
