Glasgow Central – a dynasty
Mohammed Sarwar’s son – Anas Sarwar – has been selected to succeed his father, who is stepping down at the next election as MP for Glasgow Central. Sarwar Jnr recently graduated from university and now works as a dentist.
He was a Labour Party candidate on the Glasgow regional list for the recent elections to the Scottish Parliament. Glasgow Central is a safe Labour seat with a majority of over 8000 and Sarwar Jnr joins Labour’s Yasmin Qureshi in Bolton East as only the second Labour prospective parliamentary candidate to be selected in a safe seat.
If elected, Sarwar Jnr, aged 24, is sure to be a contender for the title “Baby of the House” (the youngest MP) – the present incumbent is the Lib Dem MP Jo Swinson who is now aged 27.

He won the selection very easily (70% of the vote).
He should get elected quite comfortably next time (with SNP probably passing LD for second place)
