[Keith Vaz could be re-elected as an MP
because Labour is failing to highlight
that he was disgraced in office amid
drug and sex allegations,
the Labour mayor of Leicester has said.

Peter Soulsby said he was
“disappointed and frustrated”
by his party’s complacency,
which could allow the former
Europe minister to win back his
former seat of Leicester East.

Vaz, 67, is running a well-publicised
and slick campaign as a
One Leicester candidate to retake
his old seat on 4 July in a multicultural area
which is still reeling from
Hindu-Muslim riots in 2022.

This weekend, Shilpa Shetty,
a former Celebrity Big Brother winner
and Bollywood actor,
attracted a small crowd when she
accompanied Vaz in an
open-top Mercedes on a tour of local shops
selling South Asian products.
