Syed Kamall returned as MEP

Syed Kamall in the European Parliament

Our local MEP, Syed Kamall, was safely returned to the European Parliament in the small hours of this morning. London was the last of the English regions to declare its result. It seems that the whole process was held up by counting problems in the East End of London, especially Tower Hamlets. Long serving Conservative MEP, Dr. Charles Tannock, was also elected. Lib Dem Sarah Ludford joined all but one of her MEP colleagues in losing her seat.

Congratulations to Syed and Charles!
