PUPILS at Bolton Muslim Girls School have been casting their votes in this year’s Youth MP elections.

Now the town’s young people are eagerly awaiting Thursday’s results of who will represent the borough in their own Parliament.

The two winning candidates will take over from the young politicians Nafisa Atcha, aged 18, an A-level student at Westhoughton School, and Zuhayr Adia, aged 12, of Bolton School, and take their place on the UK Youth Parliament.

A Bolton Council spokesman said: “The period of voting has ended, and we are delighted with the efforts of the school councils who have helped organise and run elections throughout their schools.”
