With lectures and seminars every day, he runs his campaign in the evening. He's a huge football fan and hates to miss a game for a debate.Yahaya was born in Uganda and moved over to the UK when he was four-years-old. His mom is a nurse for the NHS and has felt first hand the effect of the cuts on patient care. Growing up as a black man on an estate in South London, Yahaya feels that he can represent those who have become disenfranchised by politics. Inspired by Barack Obama, Yahaya believes that, by having a stake at the top table, he can change the system from the inside—and plans to start by campaigning in his borough of Camberwell and Peckham.Follow Daisy and Rhys on Twitter.
