MEET THE NIGERIAN WHO COULD BE THE NEXT UK PRIME MINISTER

 



About 6 years after Barack Obama broke a record by becoming the first black president of the United States, another black man is set to make history.

35-year-old Chuka Umunna was born in London to a Nigerian father, Bennett Umunna and an Irish mother, Patricia.
Umunna has been described as “Britain’s Barack Obama” and is now being called "Britain's [future] first black Prime Minister".
The “unusually popular politician” became interested in the course when he visited Nigeria and saw the “extreme poverty” in the country.
Chuka is a member of the Labour party and could be the first black Prime Minister if he wins the majority out of the 560 seats in the House of Commons.
According to reports, he also enjoys the support and backing of former British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.
Chuka Umunna is currently representing Streatham in the UK Parliament.
