Rosena Chantelle Allin-Khan (born 10 May 1978) is a British politician and medical doctor.[1]
She has been the Member of Parliament (MP) for Tooting since a by-election in 2016.[2] She was a Shadow Minister for Sport from October 2016 to January 2020.
In January 2020, Allin-Khan announced her candidacy for Labour Deputy Leader in the 2020 deputy leadership election.[3] It was revealed that she had finished as the runner-up (second place) of five candidates with 26.1% of the vote in the final round of voting when the results were announced on 4 April 2020.[4]
Allin-Khan left the Labour Party Shadow Cabinet of Keir Starmer on 4 September 2023.
