Indian-Origin Sunil Chopra Appointed As Mayor Of London Borough Of Southwark For Second Time

Sunil Chopra, an Indian-origin businessman, was voted mayor of the London Borough of Southwark for the second time on May 21. Chopra served as mayor from 2014 to 2015 and deputy mayor from 2013 to 2014, making him the Borough's first Indian-origin mayor. This win is significant because Indian-origin people make up barely 2% of the population of the London Borough of Southwark Council.
