Dhaka, Jun 8 (UNB) - Bangladesh-born Doly Begum has been elected a member of the provincial parliament in Canada’s Scarborough Southwest.

Doly Begum, a candidate from National Democratic Party (NDP), bagged 19,751 votes to become the first ever Bangali to win in the elections, defeating a former high-ranking Toronto police official and a veteran Liberal MPP in Scarborough Southwest in the election held on Thursday.

Doly, who was the chief coordinator of the province-wide Keep Hydro Public campaign, served as co-chair of the Scarborough Health Coalition and vice-chair of the Warden Woods Community Centre, reports The Toronto Star.

Scarborough Southwest has a population of 110,280.

She went to Canada as at the age of 11 with her parents and younger brother from Moulvibazar district in Bangladesh and has lived in Scarborough most of her life.

Good to see the bengali community getting integrated with the host community.
Politics in Canada is not as complicated as Bangladesh for sure.

How do you know she is bengali? I google her name with the word Bangladesh, I can't find any evidence of her being bengali. I've read that she is of persian descent from Iran.

This young woman has an incredibly infectious smile. It will go a very long way in her career in winning people over.

I think you misunderstood something. I have no idea what you are talking about. We were talking about Nazneen Ghaffar. She looks Iranian to me and she is Iranian - a straight up fact.

As the saying goes. Desh bideshe betagiri, amra hokkhol Sylheti!

Congratulations.


Also, those who didn’t know, UK’s first ever Muslim mayor or a borough or city, was BDeshi, Sylheti.
