LONDON, July 7, 2024
From our Overseas Bureau
Sojan Joseph, a Mental Health Nurse in the National Health Service who migrated from Kerala 22 years ago, is among the new crop of Labour members of Parliament elected to the House of Commons in U.K. general election.
Sojan Joseph, aged 49 years, connected with the voters at doorstep with his pledge to ensure more mental health services in his constituency and succeeded in making a dent in the Conservative stronghold of Ashford in Kent, South-eastern England.
In defeating Tory stalwart and former minister Damian Green in the general election held on July 4, 2023, Sojan Joseph also dealt a blow to the anti-immigration rhetoric of the Right-Wing candidates in a seat where the far-right Reform U.K. came in third place after Tories.
