Recent local elections in Leeds and Bradford have sparked controversy and concerns over the influence of sectarian politics in the UK. In Leeds, pro-Palestinian protestors disrupted the City Council election count, with some candidates and their supporters, including a Green Party candidate in Gipton and Harehills, openly shouting 'Allahu Akbar' and displaying Palestinian flags during their celebrations. Similarly, in Bradford, candidates identified with Islamist sentiments, including Mohammed Ali ISLAM, won elections, with victorious politicians making declarations to 'raise the voice of Al Aqsa' and dedicating their wins to Gaza. These incidents have raised questions about the role of religious and political identities in local British politics and the response of law enforcement to such demonstrations.
