After an intense three-month campaign, I find myself reflecting on this journey. While I wish I could be announcing my election success as the first Muslim councillor—and potentially the first person of colour—in Darebin, I am grateful for the invaluable experiences and connections I have made along the way. I met great people who I would like to keep as friends for a long time.

Though I cannot celebrate a win for Gaza at this moment, the learning and growth I have achieved during this campaign are truly profound. I extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who dedicated their time, resources, and energy to support me. I am truly sorry that we couldn’t achieve the victory we all hoped for.

However, this is not the end. There will be another opportunity.

I wish the elected councillors all the best.

Thank you to all the volunteers and to everyone who gave me time to speak to them and to everyone who texted and emailed with feedback and suggestions. 💚

Today I received this inspiring message from one of the volunteers who was helping with the campaign. Not a Greens member. The message is so inspiring and kind but also puts so much responsibility on me if elected:

“Likewise comrade, hope you win the seat 🙂 and hope your leg heal and recover:) I wish there was more politicians who cared about Palestine and other oppressed people like you do 🙂 this country and the world needs more people like you :)”

We need to make it EASIER for people to switch to cheaper and climate-friendly transport, like public transport 🚋, bike riding 🚲 and walking 🚶‍♂️

More Greens on council will work with other levels of government to increase services and ensure safer, more accessible public transport.

What public transport improvements do you want to see in your community?

Got something in the city you want to go to on Sunday morning and were thinking of getting the train in? Check timetables carefully. Because in Melbourne's north we typically have 40 minutes between trains. Longer waits than other lines. Most trains sit idle in stabling when they could be carrying people. See how your nearest station fares below.

Today I had the privilege to address the Friday prayers congregation at the Australian Albanian Prespa Association Inc. about Darebin council elections.

I had incredibly good discussions afterwards. One discussion was about the fact that ballot papers were not designed with people that have special needs in mind and in fact most electoral materials. This was really informative.

Thank you imam Imam Dr Bekim Hasani for the valuable opportunity.

You’ve told me what the community needs, and I’m ready to work hard to make it happen.

Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to speak to me, emailed, messaged or left comments on my socials.

What would you like to add, North Central Ward?
