In an unforgettable night for Labour, the party retained its Bedford Parliamentary seat.
Mohammad Yasin, who was first elected in 2017, has won his third election. This time his majority is 9,430, a massive increase from 145 at the last election.
Mohammad Yasin MP said: “I would like to thank the people of Bedford and Kempston who re-elected me with a huge majority.
“They have rejected Conservative government policies and their leadership.”
Born in 1971 in Pakistan, Mohammad Yasin moved to the UK in his early twenties.
He was a Bedford Borough councillor for the Queens Park ward between 2006 and 2019.
