Britain's Shadow Business Secretary
Chuka Umunna speaks during the annual Labour Party Conference in
Brighton, southern England September 23, 2013.
Chuka Umunna, a
centre-left politician who specialises in business policy, said on
Tuesday he would run for the leadership of Britain's opposition Labour
Party after it suffered a heavy defeat in a national election last week.
Umunna, the
son of a Nigerian immigrant, is a former lawyer who was first elected to
parliament in 2010 and has been Labour's business spokesman since 2011.
He is one of the bookmakers' favourites to win the job of party leader.
