Natasha Asghar has announced her intention to stand for Parliament as the MP for Newport East in Wales.

Natasha a regular host on Zee TV’s, Zee Companion, hopes to be the change she wants to see in the world; a voice for the people Newport East in Westminster.

“There are approximately 1.2 million more women than men in the UK, and yet women are so grossly underrepresented in parliament.

"What is even more alarming is the shockingly small number of Asians. It’s definitely time for someone from our established and growing community to make a positive contribution to society.

"As a British Asian woman who is proud of her heritage, with drive and ambition, it is my duty to take a stand, become the seventh Asian woman to have a voice in parliament, and finally, start creating a lasting change. Growing up in Newport East, I feel a strong attachment for the city and its residents, and I understand their needs first-hand.

"I have a clear and focused plan and I know exactly which issues need to be tackled.”
