Wanstead Park councillor Bayo Alaba was elected as the MP for Southend East and Rochford in the General Election earlier this month.

“It has been an honour for me to represent Wanstead Park. It is a ward I will always feel a deep connection to. Becoming an MP represents a new chapter for me, however, and means I will need to stand down in Wanstead Park in due time. Southend is a wonderful city, and is a place which I have had a connection to for much of my personal and professional life,” said Bayo, who received 38.8% of the vote, winning the seat for Labour.
