Chaz Singh of Fata He becomes 1st Sikh Councillor in Plymouth. Plymouth has elected its first Sikh councillor in the 2011 Local Elections. Chaz Singh stood as a candidate for the Labour Party in Drake this year and was duly elected for his efforts. Chaz beat 5 other candidates in the highly contested seat. The sitting Conservative Councillor was due for re-election from 2007. Chaz not only becomes the first Sikh Councillor in the history of Plymouth but the second councillor from the BME Community after Claude Miller MBE. After learning the result he said ‘’this is a victory for the Labour Party but a huge victory for diversity and representation of all the people in Plymouth’’. Chaz also dedicated the victory to his father by stating ‘’if it wasn’t for my father who brought me to Plymouth I would not be here today’’. He also thanked his wife Sarah and two children Amrit-Pali Kaur and Karan-Jeet Singh. Fata He would like to congratulate Chaz for his hard work and efforts and hopes this will encourage more people from all communities to be more involved in the Democratic process. Well done Chaz ...
