The General Election on July 4th is incredibly important for the future of our country. Your vote really makes a difference. You have a chance to support the excellent and locally born candidate, Ameet Jogia.

Ameet was born and raised in Northwest London and joined the Conservative Party on his 16th birthday. He has been involved with the Party ever since, including serving as the Co-Chairman of the Conservative Friends of India.

For over a decade Ameet worked as my Chief of Staff gaining invaluable experience in navigating the intricacies of British politics. He supported me in my role as Trade Envoy to Uganda, Rwanda and DRC to further strengthen the trading relationship between the UK and those African countries. Using my experience of being involved in politics for over 40 years, I’m proud to be a mentor to Ameet.  

Ameet worked with me to launch Conservative Friends of India in the UK alongside the Prime Minister, David Cameron in 2014 to an audience of 1200 British Indians. The organisation has now grown to over 4000 members including 80 councillors, 15 Members of Parliament which includes our Prime Minister. Serving as the co-chair, Ameet galvanised the Indian vote across the UK but especially in Harrow which enabled the Conservative group to take control in May 2022.

Ameet's political career took off in 2014 when he was elected as a Councillor for Canons Ward in Harrow, a remarkable achievement that made him the youngest Councillor in the borough. His dedication to his constituents was evident as he was re-elected in 2018 with an increased majority. As a Councillor, Ameet's focus has always been on improving the local community, advocating for cleaner, safer, and greener surroundings. Moreover, he has emerged as a prominent voice for diversity and inclusion, championing the rights and causes of ethnic minorities, women, and young people.

In recognition of his outstanding contributions to politics and community cohesion, Ameet Jogia was awarded an MBE in 2022. He dedicated this prestigious honour to his parents, who instilled in him the values of civic duty and public service.

Following Rishi Sunak becoming Prime Minister, Ameet joined his team at No. 10 as his right-hand man. He helped organise many significant events including the first ever Diwali hosted by a British Indian Prime Minister.

Ameet Jogia is a rising star in British politics, who has demonstrated his passion, dedication, and leadership skills. He is an inspiration to many young people, especially those from ethnic minority backgrounds. He is determined to continue working hard for his constituents and his country.

Vote for your local champion. Vote for Ameet Jogia.
