Camden Youth MP Election 2020
UPDATE: Due to the COVID-19 emergency, we were unfortunately unable to hold the Camden Youth MP Election as planned in 2020. We will let you know about any plans for a new election and if it is possible to run one in 2021.
Youth MP and Deputy Youth MPs
The Youth MP, and two Deputy Youth MPs, have a two-year term and are the voice for Camden young people, seeking to put forward their interests in local decision-making, as well as representing the views and interests of local young people at regional and national level through the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP).
