Sonia Kumar is a British Labour Party politician who has served as the Member of Parliament (MP) for Dudley since 2024.
Parliamentary career[edit]
In the 2024 United Kingdom general election, Kumar's opponent Marco Longhi, the Conservative MP for Dudley, was accused of "dog-whistle" tactics against Kumar. His campaign sent leaflets to British Pakistani and Kashmiri Muslims drawing attention to Kumar's Hindu surname (writing it in capital letters and underlined), arguing that she would not support Kashmir while in Parliament.[1] She was later elected MP for Dudley with 12,215 votes (34%).[2][3]
