Culture secretary Sajid Javid re-elected as Conservatives head for majority
POSTED 08 May 2015 . BY Jak Phillips
Sajid Javid is seen as a 'rising star' in the Conservative Party
The secretary of state for culture, media and sport Sajid Javid has been re-elected by voters in his Bromsgrove constituency, in a general election that looks set to hand the Conservatives a shock majority victory.

Javid received 28,133 votes – an increase of 5,575 on the amount of votes he polled in 2010. His party meanwhile, was on course to take a slender majority, confounding polls which had predicted a dead heat between the Conservatives and Labour.

Javid was appointed culture secretary in April 2014, following the resignation of Maria Miller.

Focus will now turn to whether the Conservative party’s first British-Pakistani MP will remain in post. Some observers have tipped Javid to become business secretary in the first cabinet of David Cameron's second term, given that he enjoyed a successful career in banking and was then financial secretary to the treasury. The notion is likely to gain strength given that the coalition's business secretary Vince Cable has been ousted in Twickenham by the Tory candidate Tania Mathias.
