Boundary changes: Major. Retains most of the old Brent North, although loses part of Tokyngton and Welsh Harp to Brent Central, but gains around a third of the old Brent South seat, including Alperton, Wembley and parts of Barnhill and Sudbury.
Profile: High ethnic population in UK constituencies is normally associated with deprived inner city seats, but Brent North is most owner-occupied residential suburbs. This is a seat of upwardly mobile successful Asians. Despite the high Labour Parliamentary majority, they (as of July 2007) hold only three council seats in the constituency – all in Fryent ward, compared to the Conservative`s 15 and Liberal Democrats 9. Barry Gardiner has a substantial twenty percent majority, but Brent North is not necessarily the Labour stronghold it appears on paper.

PS. I posted the results on the same day I do not know what happened to my post.
JD was not allowed to apply for the position (Chair) and with regrad to Kanta it was opinion of the senior members that she does not have the experience.
The treaurer and the Chair are the Directors of the Company that owns the Brent North Conservative Office premises. Mike has stepped in to safeguard his interests as well.
Chair, Deputy Chair and V Chair does not even live in the constitncy.
Yes, in the Conservative Party you can basically join whichever Conservative Association you want, so it seems, whereas in the Labour Party you can only join the local party where one resides. (If you have more than one home, or perhaps are a student, you have a choice). I have an old acquaintance who used to be in the Brent N Conservative Association though she lives in Norwood Green (Ealing Southall constituency). She does however worship in a synagogue in Brent North and her parents live/lived there.

WHY DID MRS GANDHI STAND UP TO THE PREMIER?
Sonia Gandhi gave no reason for the cancellation of the meeting with David Cameron Sonia Gandhi mysteriously withdrew from a planned meeting with David Cameron yesterday, prompting speculation that the Prime Minister had been snubbed by India’s most powerful individual.
Mrs Gandhi, head of India’s Nehru-Gandhi dynasty and president of the ruling Congress Party, gave no reason for the sudden cancellation of the meeting with Mr Cameron.
The Prime Minister was also unable to meet her son Rahul, hotly tipped as a future prime minister of India.
Visiting leaders routinely pay a courtesy call on Mrs Gandhi, widow of the assassinated former prime minister Rajiv.
She is notoriously shy and has cancelled a number of other engagements in recent days. But she also has a history of shunning visiting dignitaries of whom she does not approve.
Downing Street rejected any suggestion of a snub. A source said Mr Cameron had been given a ‘very good reason’ for the cancellation of the meeting but refused to elaborate.
The source added: ‘We have a longstanding and good relationship with Sonia Gandhi. There is a perfectly reasonable explanation for the cancellation and we look forward to seeing her at the next opportunity.’
One source in India last night suggested Mrs Gandhi had pulled out because a close relative was ill, but this could not be confirmed.
Sources in Delhi said Rahul Gandhi had flown to London this week as Mr Cameron was arriving in India. They pointed out that he had struck up a close relationship with Labour leadership contender David Miliband.
