David Reynolds, 57, will be standing in Ilford North, and RoseMary Warrington in Ilford South.
Mr Reynolds is an insurance broker with two children and has lived in the Redbridge area for 20 years.
He said his main priority is to address “harsh inequalities” he believes have accelerated under the current government.
Announcing his candidacy, he said: “It is outrageous that the government has been making the less well-off pay the price of a financial crisis for which they are not responsible.
“Their austerity programme has cut many much-needed benefits across the board as well as introducing the spiteful bedroom tax.”

Mr Reynolds said he wanted to give people in Ilford North an alternative to the traditional parties.
“The Green Party’s vision is different, grounded in sustainability, social justice, greater equality and fairness,” he said.
