Election result for Luton South
The Labour Party held the constituency of Luton South in the 8 June 2017 General Election with an increased majority. I came third as the candidate for the Liberal Democrats.
I would sincerely like to thank the 1,056 citizens of Luton South who voted for me for their support. I also want to put on record my thanks to the other candidates who helped make it a friendly campaign and to all those involved in organising and administrating the election.
Congratulations to Gavin Shuker in being returned as Luton South’s Member of Parliament and I wish him luck in representing the interests of the people of the constituency in what will be challenging political circumstances.
I should have further reflections on the General Election result shortly.
