Shams uddin is a Barrister, he has previously campaigned to be a councillor for the Liberal Democrats and failed to win.
He is standing as an Independent,
Rabina Khan has been a Councillor on and off since 2010 initially she was with Labour has represented various community based parties since.
She is standing as a Liberal Democrat so is unlikely to step down.
As for Ajmal Masroor he previously stood against Rushnara Ali as the Liberal Democrat candidate in 2010 and lost by a very large margin. And for his Scholarly credentials I believe he does not have orthodox Islamic credentials but instead has an academic degree in Islamic Studies and Arabic from a British University.
From that statement of Tasnime Akunjee , it looks like he is not endorsing anyone, and has decided to take the principled position.
In my opinion he deserved to be the candidate he was the first to declare his intention to challenge Rushnara Ali, at the start of this conflict.
And he is the only one who does not have a history of trying to pursue a political career.
And ALLAH knows best.
