London: A 32-year-old British-Kashmiri musician who set up his One Love party last year has announced his candidacy for a by-election for a west London constituency next month.
Ankit Love was among 12 candidates in this year's mayoral elections in May in London even though his defeat in the two- way contest between Conservative party candidate Zac Goldsmith and Labour's Sadiq Khan was inevitable.
Mr Khan's resounding victory has not put him off standing in the Richmond Park by-election, triggered by Goldsmith's resignation as an MP following the UK government's decision to break his campaign pledge of not allowing a third runway to be built at Heathrow airport, which falls within the west London constituency.
Mr Love is a former MTV artist who also made some news last year when he declared himself the maharaja of the Dogra dynasty of Jammu and Kashmir as the son of Bhim Singh, former president of the Jammu and Kashmir National Panthers Party.
His party said that it would prioritise reducing air pollution in London and promote the use of driverless electric cars.
Love describes himself as a music artist, filmmaker and designer as the founder of Ankit Love Productions.
