Who is Sagal Wali the first Muslim refugee in Britain
British politician Sagal Abdi Wali won a by-election in the Hampstead and Kilburn constituency in London, becoming the first refugee woman of Somali descent to secure a seat in the UK House of Commons, succeeding the former MP Keir Starmer. She received 45% of the votes and won by a margin of 3,364 votes over Green Party leader Zac Polansky. Born in Somalia, she emigrated to Britain as a refugee in the 1990s. She wears a hijab and expressed pride in herself and her community, stating that she is proud that people like her can see themselves represented and express their presence in Parliament. Her victory sends a message about everyone’s right to belong and proves that backgrounds do not prevent access to political positions.
