Zubir Ahmed (born 1980 or 1981)[1] is a Scottish Labour Party politician and surgeon serving as Member of Parliament (MP) for Glasgow South West since 2024.

Early life and medical career

Ahmed was born to Pakistani parents who emigrated to Scotland in the 1960s, and was the eldest of five children.[2] His father was a taxi driver and he grew up in Govanhill, Glasgow.

Ahmed was awarded a scholarship to attend Hutchesons' Grammar School, where he was a contemporary of Anas Sarwar and Humza Yousaf.[3][2] He received a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from the University of Glasgow in 2005, where he studied alongside Sarwar once again.[4]

He was awarded a Master of Science in healthcare from University College London in 2012, a doctorate in transplantation from King's College London in 2019, and a Master of Business Administration from the University of Strathclyde in 2020.

Ahmed was a transplant and vascular surgeon in Glasgow and volunteered in Pakistan.[5][2] He has been a fellow of the European Board of Surgery and the Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Glasgow.[6] Following his election to Parliament, he continued to practise to maintain his medical license.[7]

Political career

Ahmed joined the Labour Party as a teenager, and decided to stand for office during the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] He was the Labour candidate for Glasgow Pollok in the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, coming second to the Scottish National Party's (SNP) Humza Yousaf.[4]

Ahmed was elected as Member of Parliament for Glasgow South West at the 2024 general election, defeating SNP incumbent Chris Stephens.[9] He was appointed as a Parliamentary Private Secretary to the Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, several weeks after his election.[7]

Personal life

Ahmed is a Muslim and married to a respiratory doctor, with whom he has two children.[10][11]
