Nigerians are doing big things abroad.
The newest is the Nigerian born Spanish lawyer, Helen Mukoro, who has emerged the presidential candidate of an opposition party for the forthcoming election in Spain.
Reports say she is the first woman and immigrant to emerge presidential flag bearer of a political party and will be running on the platform of Union De Todos, a party she founded earlier this year.
Helen is also a forensic expert and author of many books. She was born in Delta state and worked briefly in the governor’s office before she traveled to Spain in 1992.
She gained prominence in Spanish politics when she founded a political party and later became the first Nigerian-Spanish to contest for Mayor of Denia in May this year. She lost the election, but her popularity has soared higher as several people endorsed her for the highest office in the country.
A graduate in law at the Spanish National University Alicante, she also holds a Master degree in criminology, Master degree in social education, a post graduate certificate in tax and labor management, a post graduate certificate in forensic psychology, and a post graduate certificate in immigration and domestic violence.
She worked as a legal consultant (Immigration Department) at the Red Cross Society, Spain and presently owns a legal firm. She served as the CEO and president at the African Europe Chamber of Commerce.
She is also the CEO/President at National Agency of Forensic Experts, Mediators and Technical Professionals of Spain and Europe.
The 2015 Spanish general election will be held on or before December 20, 2015, as provided by the Spanish constitution and the Organic Law of the General Election Regime of 1985.
The ruling People’s Party (PP), led by Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy, will seek re-election for a second term in office, while the Spanish Socialist Workers’ Party (PSOE) will struggle to return to power after four years in opposition.
The election will be marked by the rise of new parties Podemos (Spanish for “We can”) and Citizens.
