For example Ram Gidoomal, the CPA's London mayoral candidate in 2003-4, was recently appointed Chair of the Board of Trustees at the British Refugee Council. Ram was quickly forced to resign when details of the CPA, his candidacy and the CPA's stance became known amongst Refugee Council staff and others in the refugee/asylum sector[citation needed].
