Saghir denies vote-rigging charges
A FORMER Calderdale councillor is set to stand trial for alleged vote rigging.
Mohammed Saghir, 63, of Gibbet Street, Halifax, has denied five charges of rigging proxy votes.
He is alleged to have applied for proxy votes under different names during the local elections in April 2008.
Saghir was elected as a Conservative councillor for St John's, now Park ward, in 2000.
The trial, expected to last three days, has been fixed for April 12 at Bradford Crown Court.
Saghir was released on conditional bail.
