Rahoul Bhansali was selected last night for this seat with a projected Labour majority of 6,726 with the Tories in third place.
This is how he describes himself on the Bermondsey and Old Southwark Conservative website:
"I’ve lived in the constituency for the last 8 years. A technologist by trade, my work sees me implementing solutions to organisations' problems on a daily basis. These skills come in handy with neighbours and friends alike, when you live in such a crowded area as Bermondsey. In my spare time I enjoy travelling, socialising, playing cricket. I am also a keen consumer of food, be it sushi or pies. I joined Southwark Conservatives because I’m passionate about the need for local people to be involved in the management of local issues. Riverside ward should have more say in its own affairs with less interference from the town hall. The really great thing about the Association is the fact that 90% of our membership is between 20 – 35 years old. Whether its just going for a quick drink or canvassing an estate, there’s always a real buzz to what we’re doing."
