The first I heard of you was your comment on the News channel this morning. Mnn... up and coming Obama, yeah. I shall be following your progress with great interest and wish you every luck in it. I'm in Dulwich with Tessa Jowell as my MP and always very helpful responding to all my mails and supporting me. She's great.

I wondered if you were related to the Umannas of Asaba? Actually a cousin of mine is married to The Late Peter Umunna of Asaba. Any relationship to him?

Just hearing about you now. Will listen to your show on LBC/Radio 4 to hear what you are about, but so far so good. Keep on.

Hello! I'm an immigrant to the States from 21 years ago, originally a Brixton girl of Horseford Road! Raised in Crouch End, Hornsey, London, N.8., 8.P.J.! This is a historic day in the States for ALL of us, it has been pure pandemonium over here! Since everyone thinks that YOU are Britain's Barack, just thought I would share some love!

About Me:
In March 2008 Chuka Umunna was selected by the Streatham Labour Party as its parliamentary candidate at the next General Election. He succeeds Keith Hill, the current Labour Member of Parliament who has held the seat since April 1992 and is to retire.

If elected, Chuka will be the first MP for Streatham to be from and who grew up in the area, a parliamentary consituency which covers Streatham and parts of Clapham, Balham, Tulse Hill and Brixton. He has lived in the Streatham parliamentary constituency all his life (save for a short stint away studying). In his formative years Chuka attended Christ Church Primary School in the Brixton Hill part of the constituency and he is presently a School Governor of Sunnyhill Primary School and sits on the Board of Sunnyhill Children’s Centre, both in Streatham Wells. He lives on Streatham High Road.

Chuka is a specialist employment law solicitor by profession and works at a Central London law firm where he primarily acts for employees but also employers. In addition, he is a trustee of a national youth charity, the Anthony Bourne Foundation, and has been involved charitable youth work in Lambeth too.

As a person of mixed Nigerian, Irish and English descent, Chuka would become the first person of Black parentage to represent one of the three parliamentary constituencies covering the Brixton area. Aged 29, if elected Chuka would also become one of the youngest MPs in the country.
