This is the first occasion on which I have stood for public office. I am delighted at the support I have received from friends and residents that I have spoken to so far.

I have lived in Watford for over 30 years. I went to Central Primary and then Queens School and completed my BSc and MSc at the University of London. I’m married with two school age children who attend local schools. I am a Governor at Holywell Juniors.

Under the leadership of Mayor Dorothy Thornhill the Liberal Democrats have started the programme of sorting out the Council, cleaning up the town and restoring pride in Watford. In addition, they have started the programme of ensuring that local government better meets the needs of local people.

At the national and international level, it was the Liberal Democrats who were foremost in supporting and reflecting the views of all good and right minded people. The Liberal Democrats rightly expressed grave concerns about the War in Iraq, in Palestine, Afghanistan and warned about the damage it would cause to the reputation of our great country. I actively supported these views by campaigning against the War in Iraq.

Liberal Democrat local effectiveness, combined with their national and international stance, has impressed me. It has made me want to be part of the Liberal Democrats so that I can continue to support the good work being done.

The election is on Thursday 10th June - I hope you will give me your support. I give you my commitment that I will work effectively to represent your views and needs.

Best wishes

Mohammed Ajab
