London: Rishi Madlani, a sustainable finance professional, on Monday emerged as the only British Indian candidate in the race to succeed former prime minister Keir Starmer as the member of Parliament from his London constituency.
The former Labour Party councillor hopes to capitalise on his strong connect with Holborn and St Pancras, having lived in the area for 25 years since his student days. Starmer, who has served as its MP since 2015, triggered a by-election after resigning earlier this month to focus on "international affairs".
