Brent Youth Parliament (BYP) has elected five new executive members including a new chairman, 18 -year-old Kishan Parshotam.
Kishan, who won 65 per cent of the vote, said: “Being elected as chairman was a massive surprise. It was great to see everyone getting thoroughly engaged with the election process.”
“With young people being affected so much by the cuts both locally and nationally, BYP will aim to protect the services we need.”
