A LONG-serving Keighley councillor – and former Lord Mayor of Bradford – has announced he will not be seeking re-election in May.
Khadim Hussain has represented Keighley Central ward on Bradford Council since 2004.
But he says the time is now right to “step back” and make way for younger blood.
He admits he was hit hard by the death of his close friend and fellow Keighley Central councillor Abid Hussain on Christmas Eve and the more recent passing of another good friend, Ghulam Rabani, a mainstay of the town’s Sangat Centre.
“I’ve given the matter a great deal of thought and decided to pass on the mantle to younger people,” said Khadim, of Drake Street in Keighley.
