The incumbent was Imdad Hussain who had been elected for the Labour party but was suspended from the Labour Party for two years in 2012 when he failed to declare being banned as a company director. He subsequently joined the Peace Party becoming their only councillor and standing under that banner for re-election.[4] Imdad was punched and his windscreen smashed in two separate incidents while canvassing for this election.
