Election Candidates Caught Using Bogus Nominees

According to Indymedia, candidates for the BNP in Birmingham have been using bogus nominees to make up the ten required to be able to stand for a ward. Following the exposure of such in the East Handsworth and Lozells ward, there is now evidence of false nomination papers being submitted by them in a further two wards. Investigations have exposed that the BNP candidate for Soho, Darren John Allen, claimed to be nominated by Daljit Singh Dodd. When contacted, Mr Dodd strongly denied being a nominee and said that he had only signed a petition against a further mosque being built in the area. Mr Dodd was outraged by details being used for this purpose and said he is prepared to testify should matters go to court.
