Seemingly, Marlborough ward councillor David Perry is in for the Harrow Labour group leadership, held by Cllr Graham Henson at present.
Labour has lost the council at the council elections 2022 due to some localised Tory exploitation of certain voters in Harrow East where Labour lost 6 out of 7 seats.
Councillor Perry, elected in 2006, won the leadership of the group in 2013, replacing council leader Cllr Thaya Idaikkadar who then formed the Independent Labour group, claiming racism within the group, and led the council. (Thaya Idaikkadar is now an elected Tory councillor in Harrow)
Councillor Perry led the authority after Labour winning the 2014 election, but stepped down as leader of Harrow Council in 2016. Cllr Sachin Shah (not a councillor now) succeeded him.
Cllr Graham Henson was elected leader of the Harrow’s Labour Group, less than a week after it returned a record number of councillors at the 2018 borough elections.
He defeated Cllr Sachin Shah, then leader, by 22 to 13 votes.
The Harrow Labour group has long political rifts based on factions like socialists, Momentum and Harrow West MP’s right-wing Blairite foot-soldiers which are now many in the new council. Apparently, Cllr Henson is not a Blairite.
