It is a privilege to lead the Liberal Democrat Group on the London Assembly and to be the first ethnic minority woman to lead a group on the Assembly, Hina Bokhari AM said.
To all the women of all backgrounds across London, I hope I can offer some hope that barriers are being broken and politics is becoming more representative of the society we live in.
Assembly Member Bokhari was one of the first Muslim women elected to the Assembly in 2021. She was elected as a councillor in 2018, becoming the first Muslim woman elected in the Merton borough.
Speaking to The Independent in 2021, she said Muslim women must be stronger than the average white man in order to get elected to political roles.
