Jeremy Corbyn addresses Muslim worshippers
Jeremy Corbyn addresses Muslim worshippers at Finsbury Park Mosque following his victory in the general election. He secured almost 50 percent of the vote in Islington North, the London constituency he has represented for more than four decades.
Corbyn said: “This is a victory also for those of us that believe in peace, those of us that believe in the rights of the Palestinian people to be able to live in peace, to end the bombardment, to end the sale of weapons, to end the destruction of Gaza and the occupation of the West Bank.”
An MP since 1983, Corbyn led Labour from 2015 to 2020, but he was barred from standing as a candidate and then expelled when he announced his intention to run anyway.
He won the seat in Islington North for the eleventh time with 49.2 percent of the votes. Labour candidate Praful Nargund, a local councillor, was second with 34.4 percent.
Corbyn is among a number of independent candidates elected in constituencies previously held by Labour after opposition to the party was fuelled by criticism over its response to Israel's war on Gaza.
