Labour Party candidate Tulip Siddiq has been re-elected as a British MP for the fourth consecutive term in the UK general election.  

Tulip Siddiq, a Father of the Nation Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman's granddaughter, contested the Hampstead and Highgate constituency polls.

She got 23,432 votes (48.3 per cent) while her nearest opponent Conservative candidate Don Williams, received 8,462 votes (17.4 per cent), according to data from the BBC.

Green Party candidate Lorna Russell received 6,530 votes (13.7 per cent) from the constituency, reports BSS.

Keir Starmer will become Britain's new prime minister, as his centre-left opposition Labour Party swept to a landslide general election victory, ending 14 years of right-wing Conservative rule.
