George Galloway celebrates 'Blackburn triumph' on Twitter after winning West Bradford by-election Mr Galloway, expelled by Labour in 2003, said it was the "most sensational victory" in by-election history. He received 18,341 votes - a 56 per cent share. He said his victory represented a "total rejection" of the major parties. Bradford West is now the fourth constituency to have Mr Galloway for its MP. Any late nights celebrating, however, would have been drink-free, as the newest MP claimed in his campaign to be a "teetotal Muslim." At Mr Galloway's official campaign rally in Bradford's Hanover Square last Sunday, footage of which was still available yesterday on his own website, he said: "I'm a better Pakistani than he [Mr Hussain] will ever be. God knows who's a Muslim and who is not. And a man that's never out of the pub shouldn't be going around telling people you should vote for him because he's a Muslim. He added: "A Muslim is ready to go to the US Senate, as I did, and to their face call them murderers, liars, thieves and criminals. A Muslim is somebody who's not afraid of earthly power but who fears only the Judgment Day. I'm ready for that, I'm working for that and it's the only thing I fear. One leaflet circulating Bradford in the days leading up to the election, berated rival Labour candidate Imran Hussain: "God KNOWS who is a Muslim. And he KNOWS who is not," it said. Let me point out to all the Muslim brothers and sisters what I stand for. I, George Galloway, do not drink alcohol and never have. Mr Galloway denies it came from him. The politician, who relentlessly courted the Muslim vote in a city with a large Asian population, dubbed his political triumph the "Bradford Spring" in solidarity with uprisings in the Arab world. He told constituents after his win: "All praise to Allah! By the Grace of God we have won the most sensational victory in British political history. There is a tidal wave waiting to break all over the country, not just in Bradford. Mr Galloway is due to hold a rally in Bradford on Sunday evening.
