Jyoti Bhojani secures top position in the Labour party
Last weekend saw the election success of Jyoti Bhojani for the Labour’s BAME youth representative.
In terms of the Labour party it is a powerful position not least because BAME Labour youths are part of the fastest growing sector within of the party. Of course we are particularly pleased here at OBV because Jyoti came to the organisation as a volunteer and now is a project worker on our mentoring programmes.
Speaking about her election Jyoti said:
“I am delighted and honoured to have been elected. I will do my best to ensure that the Young BAME voice is heard within the Labour Party.”
Let’s celebrate the success of this formidable young woman. Whilst she is working for OBV she’ll maintain her non-partisan approach, but when its party business I fully expect greater things to come. Westminster perhaps?
Well done Jyoti!
