About Sony

My name is Nyame Ayeh Assuon, popularly known as Sony. I recently completed an MSc in International Security and Risk at the University of Southampton. I have lived around the Salisbury Plains for more than 15 years and have built a strong connection with the local community. I am a father of four beautiful girls; my eldest daughter attended Salisbury Sixth Form and went on to Oxford Brookes. My other children attend Wiltshire College and Wyvern St Edmunds. I am deeply committed to the Labour Party and to promoting positive change that improves residents’ lives.

As a former British Army serviceman who served for 13 years with the Royal Logistic Corps and Royal Signals, I bring discipline, leadership, teamwork and commitment to public service. My belief is simple: “serve to lead”. I want to give back to the community that has supported me over the years. I am also a local businessman and the founder of Assuon Foundation Trust, a registered charity supporting education and community development.

I am passionate about creating safe neighbourhoods, providing better support for families and older residents, increasing opportunities for young people and skill development, supporting local businesses and charities, ensuring affordable homes, enhancing public safety, advancing education, and fostering a sustainable environment. I believe these issues are crucial for improving the quality of life for families and communities.

Having supported local election campaigns through leafleting, door-knocking and community engagement, I understand the importance of listening to residents and addressing real local concerns. If elected, I will work hard to represent the Salisbury Milford community, promote equal opportunities, support better local services and ensure residents’ voices are heard.
