First-Time Immigrant Voters Hope for Change in UK Election
United kingdom, United state
Prathesh Panjak and other immigrant voters are excited to vote in the July 4 UK election. They hope to influence change in their new home. The Labour Party is expected to win, ending the Conservative Party's 14-year rule.
Immigrants from Commonwealth countries, like Nigeria, India, and Malaysia, are eligible to vote. Panjak, a student from India, is thrilled to participate. Teh Wen Sun from Malaysia wants to vote for a pro-immigrant party.
Immigration is a key issue, with Prime Minister Sunak promising to cut net migration. Some immigrants, like Esther Offem from Nigeria, are still undecided on whom to support.
