Kate Osamor has made Gonul Daniels of British Conservative party drink a full cup of sorrow during UK election to the House of Commons.
Nigerian-born Kate Osamor has made something nearly impossible during UK election to the House of Commons. While it is expected that during the UK election Labour party will lose nearly 50 seats in parliament this year, she managed to steal the victory from the candidate of Conservative Party despite the fact that this party has overwhelmingly leading results in the country.
But in Edmonton area of East London voters preferred Kate Osamor, who represents Labour party. She is very well-known as a community and trade union activist, helping local people to cope with stagnant wages and rising prices. That’s why during the UK election she’s collected 25,388 votes – more than twice against Gonul Daniels of the Conservative Party with only 9,969 votes.
Kate Osamor is not the only one Nigerian-born MP in the UK’s parliament. She will join her Labour party fellows Chi Onwurah and Chuka Umunna, while Helen Grant was elected as the sole Nigerian representative of the Conservative Party in the British parliament."
