Marc Anwar, a former Coronation Street star who was let go from the show due to racist tweets, is now reportedly running to become a Member of Parliament. Marc played the role of Sharif Nazir, the husband of Yasmeen Nazir, and also had an affair with Yasmeen's best friend. However, in 2016, his career took a drastic turn when ITV decided to terminate his contract with immediate effect after offensive tweets were found on his Twitter account.
The offensive tweets were directed towards Indians, with Marc using derogatory language and making insensitive comments about the conflict between India and Pakistan. An ITV spokesperson at the time condemned his actions and stated that Marc would not be returning to the show. This news came as a shock to fans of the popular soap opera.
Two years later, Marc released a video apologising for his tweets, claiming it was a "moment of madness". But now, he has shifted his focus to politics and has set up a GoFundMe page for his campaign as an independent candidate in Bury North. On this page, he pledges to hold Israel accountable for committing genocide and to end corruption in local and national politics.
Marc describes himself as an actor, broadcaster, social activist, and charity worker. He has a fundraising goal of £15,000, but so far has only raised £418. The Agency has reached out to Marc for a comment on his political aspirations.
