London, May 7 (PTI) Indian-origin Keith Vaz, who was
once again elected from the Leicester East constituency,
Friday said that he was looking forward to debate issues in
the House of Commons with his sister Valerie, who was also
elected from the Walsall South constituency.
This is the first time a brother-sister duo has been
elected to the House of Commons.
Valerie Vaz was also elected on a Labour ticket.
Vaz told PTI: "It is truly an honour to have been
re-elected to represent the people of Leicester East. I will
continue to do my very best to repay the confidence and trust
that people have placed in me again. I will continue to put
the needs of Leicester first and fight for what Leicester
rightly deserves."
He added: "I am delighted that Valerie has been
elected, she will make an excellent MP and I look forward to
debating in the Commons together."
Vaz was re-elected from Leicester East for the sixth
time, gaining a bigger vote than ever before. Vaz won 53.76
per cent of the vote totalling 25,804 votes, up by more than
1,000 on his total for the 2005 General Election. PTI PS
