DEVOTED community champion Cllr. Mo Hussain has been confirmed as the 141st Mayor of Warrington, alongside Deputy Mayor Cllr Sagheer Zaman.
Cllr Hussain has been a devoted champion of the Warrington community for over 45 years, with more than 30 years dedicated to voluntary service. Deeply passionate about unity and inclusivity, he has worked tirelessly to bring people together and improve lives across the borough.
Since 2012, Mo has served as Secretary of the Warrington Ethnic Communities Association, playing a pivotal role in fostering cohesion among Warrington’s diverse communities.
He is also the driving force behind the Warrington Mela, an annual celebration of cultural diversity that attracts thousands of attendees and promotes mutual understanding.
In addition to his community work, Mo served as a senior observer with the Institute of Advanced Motorists, volunteering to improve road safety.
His charitable efforts have raised thousands of pounds for local and international causes, including hands-on earthquake relief in Turkey.
A trustee of the Warrington Islamic Association since 2010, Mo has supported countless residents through initiatives such as food and essential item distributions during the COVID-19 pandemic, and welcoming refugees from Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, and other parts of the world.
Elected as a councillor for Great Sankey South in 2021 and re-elected for a second term, he has consistently advocated for the needs of local residents. Mo credits his dedication to public service to the example set by his late father, a committed NHS doctor.
As Mayor of Warrington, Cllr Hussain is also proudly supporting Warrington Youth Zone, Warrington Disability Partnership, St. Rocco’s Hospice, and Room at the Inn. His mayoral focus is on enhancing opportunities for young people, supporting the homeless, and tackling loneliness among the elderly and vulnerable.
Cllr Hussain will formally begin his Mayoral year from May 2025 until May 2026.
Cllr Hussain said: “Warrington’s strength lies in its people—diverse, compassionate, and united. As Mayor, I will work to bring communities together, support our young and vulnerable, and ensure everyone feels they truly belong in this great town.”
