Ayoub Khan

Ayoub Khan (born 1972 or 1973) is a British independent politician and barrister who has served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Birmingham Perry Barr since 2024.[5] He lost the seat in 2004, but successfully challenged the result through an Election Petition at the High Court which determined that the Labour Party candidates were involved in postal voter scandal.[9][16] The win was in part attributed to a Gifting Scandal, which led to a high court case and the downfall of Labour Councillor Mohammad Afzal.[17] Following the outbreak of the 2023 Gaza war, Ayoub Khan and fellow Liberal Democrat councillor Izzy Knowles proposed a motion within the Birmingham City Council calling to recognise the negative effects of the Israeli–Palestinian conflict; the increase in anti-Jewish and anti-Muslim hate; and notes the Council's duty of care to the people of Birmingham, and to promoting peace, tolerance and respect.[18] Khan faced controversy after he created videos on TikTok saying that evidence of those killed or harmed in 7 October attacks should be publicly released[18][19][20] and saying that Suella Braverman was misguided over her claims that the "from the river to the sea Palestine will be free" slogan is anti-semitic.[29] Shortly after the vote Ayoub Khan, Shockat Adam, Jeremy Corbyn, Adnan Hussain, and Iqbal Mohamed produced a joint letter decrying the two major parties and stating the need for a caring alternative.
