As the Labour Party won the 2024 General Election in the United Kingdom, British Tamil of Sri Lankan origin Uma Kumaran was victorious in the new constituency of Stratford and Bow taking 44.1% of the votes.
Labour has won 412 seats so far, meaning the Conservative Party has lost power for the first time in 14 years and has suffered one of the biggest defeats in its history, according to the BBC.
