What people say about me

Zehra and Liam Fox Zehra and Liam Fox “It was a pleasure to work with Zehra during the 2009 European Election campaign. She was a tireless worker who campaigned throughout the entire South West region with great energy and vigour. Zehra also demonstrated a great knowledge of defence and security issues and is committed to combating both extremism and European federalism. She would be a great asset to the Party in the future and I hope she will get an opportunity to put her talents to the best possible use.”
Liam Fox MP, Shadow Secretary of State for Defence

“Zehra was an enormously energetic candidate in the Euro elections. She worked well with the grassroots and supported associations across the South West region in campaigning, fundraising activities and membership drives. Zehra takes a lively interest in our party's policy development and has great potential, having already spoken on a national platform on issues such as Europe, the media, civil liberties and youth affairs. I am sure she will be a huge asset to Parliament." Oliver Letwin MP, Chairman of the Policy Review and Conservative Research Department

“Zehra is an impressive, hard-working and intelligent lady and I’m sure she will go far”. Andrew Mitchell MP, Shadow Secretary of State for International Development

Zehra and Mark Harper “Zehra has been a tireless campaigner for the Conservative cause in the Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire and then across the South West as an energetic Euro candidate. She knows what she is about, why she is a Conservative and what she can bring to the role of a Member of Parliament. She’ll be a big loss to the Forest of Dean but a real gain for any Westminster seat if you select her.” Mark Harper, MP for the Forest of Dean, Shadow Disability Minister

“Zehra is a proven campaigner with a deep commitment to Conservative values and action. She’ll make a brilliant MP for any constituency that selects her.” Francis Maude MP, Shadow Minister for the Cabinet Office and Shadow Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster

Zehra and Baroness Warsi Zehra and Baroness Warsi “I have been impressed with Zehra's amazing ability and determination to get things done. She is a doer, not a talker. I have no doubt she will be an excellent MP and I have no hesitation in endorsing her.” The Baroness Warsi, Shadow Minister for Community Cohesion

“Zehra is a bubbly and vibrant individual and her enthusiasm is clearly infectious. Although without a chance of being elected at No 6 on the list, she was an extremely valuable and active member of the South West European Team. She worked as if she were at No 1. She displayed a hard working nature, capable of leading a team as well as being a team player. Her sense of fair play across the classes does her credit, and her experience of working with the Party in her various roles makes her an ideal candidate. An Association selecting Zehra will have a candidate, and subsequently a Member of Parliament, second to none. She has my total support.” Ken Green, South West Conservatives Regional Chairman

Zehra and Dick Milsom “Zehra has been a breath of fresh air in the Forest of Dean and South West region.
