The MP Chuka Umunna, the favorite to succeed Ed Miliband in front of the British Labour Party, announced his candidacy Tuesday.
“I am pleased to announce that I will be a candidate to assume the party leadership” Umunna said in a video on his page on Facebook. “I want to lead this struggle of a great labor team lead Labour back into government” in the elections of 2020, he added the candidate.
Umunna, 36, son of a Nigerian father and English mother, was became the first member of an ethnic minority to assume the leadership of the Labour Party or the conservative, the two great British politics.
He entered Parliament in 2010 and was responsible for business matters of the opposition Labor.
Miliband resigned on Friday after learning the disastrous election results yesterday, in which David Cameron’s Conservatives achieved an absolute majority in Parliament.
Wednesday, the National Executive Council of Labour will meet to decide the timetable for the election of their new leader. Two other favorites in the betting, former Foreign Minister David Miliband, Ed’s brother, and Congressman Dan Jarvis, a veteran of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, have already announced they are not interested in the job.
