Academic Lead: Yewande Okuleye
Yewande is participating in an Operation Black Vote (OBV) parliamentary shadowing scheme designed to encourage greater numbers of BAME politicians in parliament.
Yewande said: “The Operation Black Vote MP Shadowing scheme provides a ‘front row seat’ and a great opportunity to learn about the workings of Westminster and how politics is localised. I hope to use this experience to formulate ideas which enhance communications between politicians and the communities they serve.”
