Police Probe Votes ‘Fraud’ in Galloway Seat

Police are investigating an allegation of electoral fraud in George Galloway’s constituency, Scotland Yard said today. Thousands of fraudulent postal votes were cast in the east London constituency of Bethnal Green and Bow, the Respect MP claimed.

He told the Electoral Review Committee at City Hall: “My suspicion is that there were many hundreds and perhaps in the low thousands of people on the register in Bethnal Green and Bow who should not be for one reason or other.”

The election in his constituency was plagued by “ghost voters”, a electoral roll that was a “complete shambles” and a “dirty tricks” campaign spearheaded by New Labour, he claimed.

He described one address in Brick Lane as a “black hole of Calcutta” claiming 14 people who did not live there had been registered to vote. And 200 polling cards were sent to residents at a former nurses home in Mile End which is now used as offices, he said.

Mr Galloway overturned a 10,000 Labour majority to unseat Oona King and win by 823 votes.
