CHUKA CHUCKED Chuka Umunna LOSES seat as voters turn their back on man once dubbed ‘Britain’s Barack Obama’

CHUKA Umunna has sensationally lost his seat as voters turn their back on the rising star MP once dubbed "Britain's Barack Obama".

The candidate came second in the Cities of London and Westminster to the Tories after flip-flopping from Labour to Change UK to Lib Dem ahead of the election.

Chuka suffered a dramatic fall from grace this morning after once being heavily tipped to become Labour leader.

Chuka used to be a rising star in Labour and ran briefly for leader in 2015.

He was regularly tipped to become the UK’s first black Prime Minister and drew comparisons to former US president Obama after he was elected in 2010.

But he withdrew his candidacy and was cast to the backbenches when Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader.

Chuka quit the party in February in a furious row over Brexit and the hard-left direction Corbyn was taking it in.

He then sensationally defected to Jo Swinson's party months later when his attempt to set up new political party Change UK flopped.

His move to the Lib Dems was part of a humiliating climbdown for the arch-Remainer, who once said the country "can't trust" the party.

The MP was accused of hypocrisy after the criticisms were unearthed - including scathing comments about Lib Dems "betraying the British people.”

Hopefully there will be another chance for him in future. Anyway he has the perfect political spirit of a typical Nigerian man of moving from one party to another.

Oops! So sad! We once thought he was going to be the Obama of Britain.

There was a media black out about this UK election. All major media only talk about it in news no live coverage

Hopefully. But people see him as an unstable politician. From Labour to Independent group, and finally Lib Dem

Same here.

Flip Flopping
Is Atiku his Father?

Failure is a route to success.......once you re strategize and give it another shot......it helps form you to be better in what you are doing......only failures give up once they fail.....but winners always catch in to it.

Not like he died though, he only lost his seat. He can go back to the private sector.... Life goes on

I'm not impressed with the outcome of the election. I was expecting LP to have the opportunity of ending the needless exit, but as it's, Boris will continue with his directionless Brexit talk, too bad!

Please try again later

Dis ryt here is exactly why he lost d polls and may neva b taken seriously ever again... An unstable politician stands for nothing and falls for everything

Corbyn is not trusted.. Labour should have presented more reputable candidate

Was carried on CNN yes but your point is moot.

Even postal vote documents failed to turn up on time.

Very good, I wish this can happen in Nigeria to all these cross carpeting politicians with no ideology/identity

Corbyn is damaged goods.

Being the spearhead of Labour, his reputation as anti-semitic, Pro-IRA and persona non grata to service and ex servicemen alike, whether true or not, was bound to tarnish any chance of on-the-fence voters going with Labour.

Corbyn should have been ditched a long time ago.

We are not discussing BBN or "who wore it better" here.

Run along kiddo.

So sad

We just celebrated him nah.


Even though today is Friday 13th assumed to be unlucky for some people. I declare that our joy will be full in all that we do in Jesus Name!!!

What did he did to them now?maybe he didn't settle them like we use to do here

He should have contacted Yahaya Be.... For advice when he was campaigning

Apt

He thought that is NIgeria where you defect any how, he left his party for another party and lost.

This election was about the people. Forget media noise.

They wanted Brexit but the media will paint a picture of confusion.
