The claim
In Bradford (Engeland) hebben Islamisten de lokale verkiezingen gewonnen omdat ze in de meerderheid zijn.
Rating
Labour won de lokale verkiezingen in Bradford met 32 procent van de stemmen. Mensen met een moslimachtergrond zijn niet in de meerderheid in de Engelse stad. Volgens de laatste volkstelling in 2021 identificeert een derde van de bevolking zich als moslim.

Labour won Bradford’s local elections with 32 percent of the vote; the review says Muslims were not a majority of the city’s population. It also says the video of a large Islamic gathering was filmed in London in 2021, not at the Bradford elections.[S1]
Additional context
Bradford held local elections on May 2, 2024. Independent candidates received 20 percent of the vote; the review links their success to voter opposition to Labour’s stance on the Gaza conflict. [S1]
The 2021 census found that 56.7 percent of Bradford residents identified as White British and nearly a third as Muslim. [S1]
