After Tower Hamlets First was removed from the register following voting fraud and malpractice, its councillors formed the Tower Hamlets Independent Group (THIG).[1][2] After some defections, the remaining Tower Hamlets Independent Group councillors later registered formally as a political party in January 2018.[3] Most of their elected members were former Labour Party members, but there are a few exceptions. It was the largest and the main political opposition with elected councillors at the Tower Hamlets Council prior to the 2018 May elections. BackgroundTower Hamlets First was established by Lutfur Rahman on 18 September 2013. The party stood candidates in the 2014 Tower Hamlets Council election,[4][5] where it won 18 out of 45 seats, becoming the second largest party on Tower Hamlets Council, and the fifth largest political party out of all London borough councils. The party was suspended in 23 April 2015, after an Election Court report that found Rahman "personally guilty of 'corrupt or illegal practices' or both" with the party labelled as a "one-man band". The party was removed from the list of political parties maintained by the Electoral Commission on 29 April 2015. Following the dissolution of Tower Hamlets First, the majority of former party members established the Tower Hamlets Independent Group (THIG) to co-ordinate activity on the council. Six members subsequently left the Tower Hamlets Independents to form the competing People's Alliance group.[6] Although barred from running for elected office himself, Rahman is behind Aspire and is his second attempt at a new party after an application under the name Tower Hamlets Together[7] was rejected.[8] Initial representationBetween formation and the May 2018 elections, Aspire councillors occupied 10 of the 45 Council seats in the Tower Hamlets Council.[9]
Ohid Ahmed was previously a Labour Party councillor and cabinet member between from 2002-2010.[10] He was also the Labour Party candidate in West Suffolk during the 2010 General Election[11] and Deputy Mayor of Tower Hamlets between 2010-2014.[12] Harun Miah was formerly a Respect Party Councillor.[13] Maium Miah was formerly a Conservative Party councillor for Millwall before joining Tower Hamlets First and stood in Canary Wharf ward in 2014.[14] The party's general secretary, Lillian Collins, was formerly Labour's party chair in Tower Hamlets.[15] 2018 electionsOhid Ahmed stood in the 2018 elections for directly elected Mayor of Tower Hamlets,[15] coming third behind Labour and the People's Alliance of Tower Hamlets, a group that had earlier split from the Tower Hamlets Independent Group. Ahmed had been endorsed by Rahman.[15] On 4 April 2018, Aspire launched their candidates for the borough elections in Tower Hamlets,[16] with a full slate of 45 council candidates.[17] They won no seats. 2019Aspire stood in two council by-elections in Tower Hamlets on 7 February 2019, winning the one in Shadwell ward and coming second in Lansbury ward.[18] References1. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/education/tower-hamlets-councillors-storm-out-over-vote-to-cooperate-with-police-on-lutfur-rahman-election-corruption-1-5292650|title=Tower Hamlets councillors storm out over vote to cooperate with police probing corrupt Lutfur Rahman election|first=Mike|last=Brooke|publisher=}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://lovewapping.org/2017/01/lutfur-rahman-makes-comeback-with-new-political-party-tower-hamlets-together/|title=Exclusive: Lutfur Rahman making political comeback with new party|date=24 January 2017|publisher=}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.eastlondonadvertiser.co.uk/news/politics/labour-facing-2nd-tower-hamlets-opposition-group-now-recognised-by-electoral-commission-as-aspire-party-1-5414685|title=Labour facing 2nd Tower Hamlets opposition group now recognised by Electoral Commission as ‘Aspire’ party|first=Mike|last=Brooke|publisher=}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://moderngov.towerhamlets.gov.uk/mgElectionResults.aspx?ID=22&RPID=3226069 |title=Local Elections - Thursday, 22nd May, 2014 |publisher=Tower Hamlets Council |accessdate=25 May 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web |url=http://lutfurrahman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/MLR-Manifesto-2014-Copy.pdf |title=Manifesto 2014 |publisher=Tower Hamlets First |year=2014 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20140525214018/http://lutfurrahman.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/MLR-Manifesto-2014-Copy.pdf |archivedate=25 May 2014}} 6. ^{{cite news|title=Fraud-Free Zone|date=22 January 2016|work=Private Eye|issue=1410|page=18}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-38855417|title=Disgraced ex-mayor 'trying to form party'|date=3 February 2017|publisher=|via=www.bbc.co.uk}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.eastlondonlines.co.uk/2018/01/disgraced-former-tower-hamlets-mayor-lutfur-rahman-given-approval-form-new-political-party/|title=Disgraced former Tower Hamlets Mayor Lutfur Rahman given approval to form new political party - Eastlondonlines|date=30 January 2018|publisher=}} 9. ^{{ cite web | url=http://moderngov.towerhamlets.gov.uk/mgMemberIndex.aspx?VW=TABLE&PIC=1&FN= | title= Mayor and Councillors | publisher=Tower Hamlets Council | accessdate=12 June 2015 }} 10. ^http://www.bbwhoswho.co.uk/Profile/Ahmed,%20Cllr%20A%20M%20Ohid%20.pdf 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/election_2010/england/8623718.stm|title=Candidates discuss rural services|date=15 April 2010|publisher=|via=news.bbc.co.uk}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=https://towerhamletspalestinesolidarity.wordpress.com/2013/09/14/delegation-of-tower-hamlets-councillors-visit-jenin/|title=Delegation of Tower Hamlets Councillors Visit Jenin!|date=14 September 2013|publisher=}} 13. ^Peace, Timothy (2013a).
