The former shadow transport minister faced the ballot in his Ilford South constituency on Monday night after local branches voted in favour of the re-selection process.
In a statement released this morning, Mr Tarry described himself as “crestfallen” and said he was “extremely concerned” by the result, saying it did not reflect the feeling his campaign team got or the “meticulous data” they gathered.
“I am utterly crestfallen by the result in the Ilford South selection last night. Not for myself, but for the good people of Ilford who deserve better than to have been at the centre of a manufactured political circus,” Mr Tarry said.
“I am extremely concerned about the result, which does not reflect the feeling my campaigners met on the ground talking day in day out to members, or the extensive meticulous data we gathered on the campaign.
“I am taking some time to consider what’s next, but in order to be assured of the integrity of the result I am asking the party to share with me the full information of who cast electronic votes, by what method, and when they were cast, which I understand is available in the ‘Anonyvoter’ system.

when got first got elected by a vast majority it was as if people had by hook or crook voted multiple times. He’s not known in the area unlike Atwal and of late Tarry decided to get involved in VHP Ilford Mandir’s internal affairs by supporting some kind of opposition from lovely Islamic organisation opposition to invite Sadhvi Ritimbhara. He clearly used the Hindu Muslim divide to his own end in what is supposed to be a democracy
I am glad he is gone
