Lotfi Mostefa has been re-elected as the chairman of the Anderlechtse Haard housing company's board of directors. This follows a contested election in July and a new vote held at the request of the government commissioner to clarify the situation.
Mostefa, who has served as chairman since 2020 and is also a PS alderman for Housing in the municipality of Anderlecht, had come under fire after a Pano report in May. The report alleged his personal interference in the allocation of social housing units within Anderlechtse Haard, the second-largest social housing company in Brussels.
"I thank the members of the board of directors for their trust," Mostefa stated in a press release from Anderlechtse Haard. "My priority remains the same: continuing the renovation of our property, developing new public housing, and constantly improving services for tenants. Anderlechtse Haard is, above all, a social player serving thousands of Anderlecht families, and I will continue this mission with responsibility and determination."
