Bradford West election candidate cleared over cake video

Mr Islam told the BBC his words had been “misconstrued and misrepresented”.

Under the Elections Act it is illegal to “directly or indirectly give or provide any food, drink, entertainment or provision to corruptly influence any voter to vote or refrain from voting” – in an offence known as treating.

A West Yorkshire Police spokesperson said the candidate “has been spoken to and given guidance”.

The candidates running in Bradford West are:

Akeel Hussain (Independent)

Imad Uddin Ahmed (Liberal Democrats)

Jamie Hinton-Wardle (Reform UK)

Khalid Mahmood (Green)

Muhammed Ali Islam (Independent)

Naz Shah (Labour)

Nigel Moxon (Conservative)

Umar Ghafoor (Independent)
