I've been assaulted': Reform's minority ethnic candidates seeking local election wins
Briefly

Raj Forhad, a Reform UK candidate, discusses personal challenges, including verbal abuse and a death threat, while promoting the party's agenda. Despite polling better among white voters, the party is actively trying to engage minority ethnic communities by focusing on values around enterprise, education, family, and faith. The upcoming local elections are crucial for Reform’s strategy to attract traditional Labour voters, particularly in urban areas. Forhad, originally from Bangladesh, underscores his commitment to the party's policies, especially on the NHS and immigration.
I'm standing because, until the people come to their senses, I will not back down. We've seen increased abuse and even threats but I'm committed to this cause.
Reform UK is determined to appeal to minority ethnic voters, focusing on shared values like enterprise, education, and family, aiming to turn these into electoral support.
