A 19-year-old final year student, Aisha Eniola, was recently voted overwhelmingly as the Councillor of Brent Council in London, UK.


Her brilliance during the debates which preceded the election warmed her into the hearts of residents of the ward.

Aisha polled 2,160 votes to be elected, defeating Simon Erskine, of the Green Party, who garnered 459 votes and Paul Fowler, of the Liberal Democrat, who polled 313.

Labour has continually held on to Harlesden, which remains one of their strongest wards in the Borough. She is currently the youngest Councillor in Brent council and stated that she hoped to inspire youths to participate in politics.
