Jeremy Corbyn Triumphs as Independent Despite Party Expulsion

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn retained his Islington North seat as an independent, after being expelled from the party. Corbyn secured 24,120 votes, beating Labour's Praful Nargund. British-Indian Prime Minister Rishi Sunak conceded defeat as Labour Party secured a majority in the UK Parliament.

In a surprising turn of events, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn retained his Islington North seat as an independent candidate, despite being expelled from the party poised to rule the UK after the recent general election.

Corbyn garnered 24,120 votes, significantly surpassing Labour's Praful Nargund, who received 16,873 votes. The 75-year-old politician, who had served the ward as a Labour member since 1983, faced a tough contest after his expulsion in 2020.

British-Indian Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged the Conservatives' defeat as the Keir Starmer-led Labour Party achieved a landslide victory, gaining around 160 seats in the House of Commons. Corbyn dedicated his win to the people of Islington North, emphasizing a campaign of hope and unity.
