Conservatives have nominated Vinay Raniga, a British-Indian doctor who became famous for establishing a nonprofit that focuses on dental education, to run as an Oxford representative in the next UK general election in 2024.
The 30-year-old dental surgeon, who is based in the south-east England constituency of Oxford West and Abingdon, announced the news on social media and pledged to continue improving his work with the National Health Service (NHS).
Raniga has launched his campaign with a focus on the “dignity and accountability of public service.” He thanked the community for entrusting him with their trust and for the chance to represent the area he studied, worked, and lived in.
"As an NHS dental surgeon, I work hard to deliver for my patients. With that same commitment, it’s time to deliver for the whole constituency. Therefore, I am first committed to an Oxford West & Abingdon better led, better served and better governed," he wrote in a recent post.
Last night I was selected to be the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Oxford West & Abingdon.

I am honoured to be trusted by local residents to fight for the place I live, work and studied in.
I look forward to meeting, listening to and serving many more of you. pic.twitter.com/W2ma4YBYcT
Raniga, a graduate of Barts and the London School of Dentistry, established Dentify after finishing his training as a junior head and neck surgeon at London's Northwick Park Hospital. Dentify has taught clinical governance, situational judgment, and leadership to a large number of dentists.
According to the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, from where Raniga obtained his Master of Public Policy (MPP), he is a “proponent of increased community cohesion through interfaith dialogue and believes in building a fairer society by increasing the opportunities people have to improve their own lives.”
