I don't believe that this political party is notable. It seems to be a one man band that has stood once, receiving very few votes. Outside one piece in the local press, the only other coverage I can find is a tabloid hit piece about Salim:[1]. Fences&Windows 20:00, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As a single candidate appears to constitute the entire political party, and that candidate fails WP:POLITICIAN by a long way, I can't see any grounds to keep this. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 20:14, 18 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I have not yet heard any rumours to suggest that he (or the party) are thinking of standing in the forthcoming election, so as it stands it is a 'one hit wonder' I agree that the party does not satisfy notability policy. I agree that the only option is deletion. doktorb _words^deeds 07:52, 19 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Despite registration with the Electoral Commission, this is obviously a very minor polical party, probably consisting of one would-be politician and his election committee, essentially a one-man band. It got 309 votes in 2005, no doubt largely from his mosque and his friends. The apparent link to its leader goes to a dabpage, which does not seem to refer to this leader.
