The Liberal Democrats have appointed Issan Ghazni in the newly created position of National Diversity Adviser based at the party’s headquarters in Westminster.
The National Diversity Adviser’s role has been established to encourage greater participation of women, ethnic and other minorities in the party.
Issan’s appointment is the latest move by the Liberal Democrats to increase the proportion of minorities in Parliament and all other levels of government.
Commenting on his appointment, Issan Ghazni said:
“This is an exciting time to be joining the team at the party headquarters. I am really looking forward to tackling the diversity challenges we face and making the party both fit for the 21st century, and also representative of our culturally diverse communities.”
Liberal Democrat Leader Menzies Campbell, who will be introducing Issan at a number of meetings at the party’s Autumn Conference next week, said:
“I welcome the experience from public, private and voluntary sectors that Issan will bring to the party in the very important work of promoting diversity.
“Issan will play a central and strategic role in improving diversity throughout our party. Parliamentary candidates will benefit from his work developing and leading new initiatives.”
