A total of 803,297 voted in the election, with a turnout of 26.6%.<\/p>\n

Ndiweni\u2019s election as the PPC for Derbyshire signifies<\/b> a shift towards greater diversity and representation in law enforcement and policymaking in the United Kingdom (UK).<\/p>\n

Posting on X (Twitter) after her win was confirmed, thanked voters who elected her and promised to put their needs first. She wrote:<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t have enough words to thank each & every one of you who voted for me & put your trust in Labour?<\/p>\n

In me, you will have a PCC who is committed to serving you wholeheartedly & will always put your needs first.<\/p>\n

Ndiweni was born and raised in rural Karoi, Mashonaland West Province and in 2015, she was elected as the first black councillor of Hucknall UK.<\/p>\n
