Britain's South Asian business community is diversifying its political donations, signaling broader strategic engagement across party lines. Conservatives led with just over £1 million in contributions, including £250,000 from property developer Kamal Pankhania.
Labour received £644,000 from South Asian donors, with Harish Sodha contributing a significant portion. The donations reflect a shift from previous patterns where the community largely supported a single party.
Other parties also benefited from South Asian donations, though amounts were smaller. The trend indicates growing political influence and a more calculated approach to funding across the political spectrum.
