Charalambous finished ahead of Conservative’s David Burrowes.

Charalambous, Enfield Borough Council’s cabinet member for culture and leisure, had been selected by fellow party members to take on Enfield Southgate’s Conservative Burrowes for the constituency at the General Election in 2015.

The councillor contested the position in 2010, when he was defeated by the current MP by more than 7,000 votes but he has emerged victorious at the second attempt and will now represent Enfield Southgate in the UK parliament.
