In the snap general elections held for the UK Parliament, the electorates have voted for 12 Indian-origin members for representing them in the UK House of Commons, which is the highest number so far in the UK elections. Tanmanjeet Singh of the Labor party has been elected as the MP from the Slough constituency while Preet Gaur Gill also from the Labor Party became the first Sikh lady to be elected to the UK Parliament by winning the Birmingham Edgbaston seat, as quoted by MSN. The victories of Gill and Dhesi are a crucial landmark for the Sikh politicians in the UK as they add to the 10 MPs of the Indian-origin elected in the last parliamentary elections. The erstwhile five MPs each from Conservative and Labor party have been successful in retaining their seats in the UK Parliament.
