Khafi said some people around her almost 20k community felt she lost because of her surname (Kareem) pointing it to Islamophobia. She said she felt sad after the results were announced and lost.

For Khafi she kept her cool until she got home and cried her heart out after the results were announced. When asked when she got emotional about it, she said it was because she felt she was already doing the job. She revealed how she would go to the authorities to help sort out electricity issues for residents in her community.

Khafi also shared with the other housemates how her family, including her mum and other relatives, travelled from other parts of Europe to London to help her campaign.

According to her, the only reason she was allowed to run for office was because she was a part-time police officer. After losing the elections, she went on to become a full time police officer.
