A FORMER leader of Haringey council has been dumped by the Labour Party before the London local elections.
Councillor Joe Ejiofor, who led the council from 2018 until 2021, was barred by the Regional Labour Party on Saturday from standing in the May local elections.
Mr Ejiofor, who, until he lost the leadership in 2021, was the only black leader of a London council and one of the few in the country, confirmed in a tweet on Sunday that the regional party had “removed me as a Labour candidate yesterday.”
