Pushpita Gupta has been elected as Labour councillor for Seven Kings
Pushpita Gupta, the President of Secular Bangladesh Movement UK has been elected as Labour councillor for Seven King. In the Seven Kings vote, Ms Gupta secured 2,227 votes, while her closest challenger - Conservative candidate Greta Rene - received 791.
Remaining candidates Andy Walker and Naveed Akbar, from the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition and Liberal Democrats respectively, secured 551 and 313 votes each.
Following the result, a visibly moved Ms Gupta said: “I was emotional because this shows that the people of Seven Kings trust me. All I want to is be there for them. “I know there are a few issues here, so my first act was to set up a meeting with leader Jas Athwal and residents. I hope this will happen in the coming weeks.
“I also want to continue encouraging the younger generation in Seven Kings to join the Labour Party. We can achieve so much together.”
