Career[edit]

Jogee resigned from his council role when Rishi Sunak, the prime minister at the time, called a general election to take place on 4 July 2024, leading to a Haringey Council by-election for Hornsey to take place on the same day as the general election.[3][4] He was elected with a majority of 5,069.[5]
