LONDON: Around two dozen Muslims are expected to be elected to the British Parliament on Thursday belonging to Pakistani, Bangladesh and Kurdish backgrounds.

An analysis of constituencies, candidates and trends by Geo and The News shows that more than 70 per cent of the newly elected Muslim MPs will be from a British Pakistani background, followed by Bangladesh.

The highest number of Muslim and Pakistani candidates will be on the Labour ticket, followed by Tories/Conservatives. Around three million Muslims now live in Britain, making them the second-largest religious group after Christians.

Our analysis and breakdown show that the total number of Muslim prospective parliamentary candidates has gone up from just 47 in 2017 to more than 70 to this year’s general elections.

The Labour Party has awarded tickets to 33 Muslim candidates. Of these, 16 look comfortable to win their seats against the Tory opponents, unless there is a big upset on Election Day.

The number of Muslims on Conservative seats have doubled from just three candidates in 2017 to six. The Conservative Party has given tickets to 22 Muslim candidates, however, only five are considered to be on safe seats.

The Liberal Democrats who have never had a Muslim MP look to change with 17 candidates in the running. Out of the 17 candidates who have been given tickets against Labour and Tory opponents, two could win their seats for the first time.

The following candidates are participating on Labour ticket.

Mohammad Yasin in Bedford; Shabana Mahmood in Birmingham Ladywood; Khalid Mahmood in Birmingham Perry Barr; Yasmin Qureshi in Bolton South East; Afzal Khan in Manchester Gorton, Imran Hussain in Bradford East; Naz Shah in Bradford West; Faisal Rashid in Warrington South; and Dr Rosena Allen-Khan in Tooting.

All of the above mentioned candidates won in 2017 elections from same seats and are expected to win this time around as well.

Zara Sultana in Coventry South and Tahir Ali in Birmingham Hall Green have been awarded ticket from safe seats and are likely to win.

Rushnara Ali in Bethnal Green & Bow, Rupa Haq in Ealing Central & Acton, Tulip Siddiq in Hampstead & Kilburn are of Bangladeshi origin. Three of them were part of the last parliament while Apsana Begum has been allotted a ticket from Labour safe seat of Poplar & Lime House.

Ibrahim Dogus of Kurdish origin has been awarded ticket from Labour safe seat of West Bromwich which was previously held by Labour’s outgoing deputy leader Tom Watson. Another strong Labour candidate of Kurdish origin is Faryal Clark who is contesting from Enfield North, a labour safe seat in North of London.

Azhar Ali, Khalil Ahmed and Faiza Shaheen are Labour candidates from Pendle, Wycombe and South Woodford respectively. Conservative party’s Andrew Stephenson, Steve Baker and Ian Duncan Smith, previously held all three constituencies. All of them have been running strong campaigns to oust their Tory opponents. Faiza Shaheen has won support from lots of public figures including actor Hugh Grant. It will be a huge election upset if Shaheen manages to unseat Tory grandee Ian Duncan Smith.

The Muslim vote in general and Pakistani/Kashmiri communities vote in particular can be decisive in several seats.

Also campaigning for a seat on Labour’s ticket from Uxbridge, Ali Milani of Iranian origin is challenging to unseat Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party Boris Johnson.

The following of Kashmiri/Pakistani origin are set to take Conservative seats:

Sajid Javid in Bromsgrove, Nusrat Ghani in Wealden; and Rehman Chishti in Gillingham. Nadhim Zahawi in Stratford-upon-Avon is of Kurdish origin.

Saqib Bhatti is a newcomer and has been awarded a Tory ticket from a safe seat of Meriden.

Imran Ahmed Khan of Pakistani origin and Mo Ali of Somali origin will have a close fight with Labour’s Marry Creagh and Anna McMorrin from Wakefield and Cardiff North respectively. Both seats were held by Labour in previous elections.

Liberal Democrats who have never awarded a ticket to any Muslim candidate, have shortlisted Hina Bokhari in Sutton & Cheam and Humaira Malik in Bermondsey & Southwark. These two constituencies were held by Liberal Democrats until 2010 but lost to Conservative party in 2015 elections. A strong remain vote on Brexit can win both seats for Liberal Democrats due to the party’s anti-Brexit stance.

Another promising candidate is Kamran Hussain in Leeds North West.

Although the Brexit Party and Green Party have awarded tickets to Muslim candidates, they are unlikely to make any significant impact in the elections.

Scottish SNP and Welsh Plaid Cymru parties did not give tickets to any Muslim candidate in this election.

Churchill gets praise because he was on the right side of history, unlike Hitler, but people forget he was an imperialist, colonialist, and racist.

The only thing that puzzles me is they couldnt move their state to play an active role in the Kashmir dispute.
Something they couldnt do for their own ethnic community..how do we expect them to help the state of Pakistan in any way.

Maybe they still have no power and are just front-cover models to get more votes by selling a narrative of diversity and togetherness.

Exactly my point they are all show pieces telling liberal Pakistani's your represented but they are all hollow in the inside -- after being in such positions and they couldn't move anyone in their own party and on top of that not being able to raise their voice. They are all two face -- that bald guy revoked citizenship's among many other things for those sitting in camps who joined ISIS for example -- but not one single action against sanghi Hindu's spewing garbage and filth against Pakistan or those with links to RSS. Some of them made comments against Israel and other's and retracted them and even apologized, have you seen 1 gora apologize to Pakistani's? These same Pakistani's running now would throw Pakistan under the bus if it came down to it.

The other issue of Pakistani's (Just like Indians) in power is they are all just talk and no action -- during Obama 1st time running Pakistanis' in Chicago were running around like idiots collecting donations and stuff and taking picture's with Obama; but not one was able to have any influence or voice to move things in Pakistani favor. If you look at those Pakistani's its' like a collection of fucking Mirasi's looking important.

Majority of those Pakistanis' marry white females and start acting like their goras -- or females marrying white males (still non-Muslim) and they marriage ain't halal either (but that's another topic). So what can one expect from them.

George Galloway is heavier than all of them put together.
They are not fckign idiots, they know very well they are being used..I want you to learn what pension benefits they get for getting elected and serving a particular small time.you will be amazed..they only need to sit and eat for the rest of their lives..Its all about me me & me.A Pakistani British Labor candidate and another Pakistani-British candidate from the same street running against him on the conservative boat. Its a circus.

Hi,

Why does pakistan hve problems with foreign countries---because of the mentality of you kids---. You really are the true enemy of pakistan---.

If these were jews winning elections---Israel would be happy and be praising them---even if they did not do sh-it for israel---because israel knows that at one time or another---they will wake upto israel---.

Same thing with the hindus---. The sikhs already know their strenfgths---.

But you pakistani kids---you are beyond despicable---instead of praising your kind regardless of what their thoughts are---you bad mouth them---.

Pakistan never deserved the treason of the likes of you---.
