Cumberland’s next Member of Youth Parliament

19 March 2026

 

We held our Cumberland Member of Youth Parliament (MYP) election results evening on Wednesday 18 March.

It was fantastic to have all 15 candidates, along with their friends and families, join us to celebrate their hard work and commitment throughout their campaigns.

Congratulations to our newly elected MYPs

We were delighted to have our current Member of Youth Parliament, Bobby Forbes announce our two newly appointed MYPs for Cumberland.
