There are still a few hours left until the end of voting in the British parliamentary elections. There is no option to wait until Friday morning to get the official results. So far, the Labour Party is on its way to its biggest ever victory in recent memory, with at least 431 seats out of 600 in the polls. On the other hand, the ruling Conservative Party is facing the widest ever electoral disaster. This time the Labour Party is coming to power alone, as is clear to the almost sixteen million Bangladeshis living in Britain.

The eyes of Bangladeshis are now on three senior Bangladeshi MPs, Rushanara Ali, Tulip Siddique, and Dr. Rupa Haq Is anyone among getting a ministership in upcoming cabinet? Although the Indian and Pakistani communities received ministership in Britain long ago, none of the parliamentarians of Bangladeshi descent have yet get ministership in Britain. This time, there is a possibility of getting at least six MPs from the Bangladeshi community, including Rufia Ashraf and Rumi Chowdhury, newly nominated from the Labour Party.

Apsana Begum is likely to win the highest number of votes among the four current MPs of the Bangladeshi origin from Labour Party. However, Apsana is not in the good book of the current leadership of the Labour Party for being vocal on behalf of the people of Palestine. On the contrary, many political analysts fear that she may be left behind in the Labour Party after the election.

Among the remaining three MPs of Bangladeshi descent—Roshanara Ali, Tulip Siddique, and Rupa Haque—at least one can get a seat in the new Labour Cabinet. While the remaining two are three-time MPs, four-time MP Roshanara Ali's name is the most discussed in the field. However, personal contact with the party's top leadership and lobbying will also gain importance in the ministerial race.

The Bangladeshi community in Britain is hoping that at least one member of Bangladeshi descent will get a place in the coming Friday's cabinet.
