Chuka Umunna Announces Labour Leadership Bid

Labour’s shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna announced his plans to run for leader of the Labour Party in a Facebook video released Tuesday morning, May 12. Umunna was widely anticipated to run for leader after Ed Miliband resigned on Friday following Labour’s electoral defeat.

Writing in The Observer on Sunday, Umunna wrote, “Labour is down, but not out. We must – and will – recover, and win again.” Credit: Facebook/Chuka Umunna
