WASHINGTON (Diya TV) — Sampat Shivangi, the national president of Indian-American Forum for Political Education and a long-time Republican leader, has been elected as a Republican delegate for a record fourth consecutive term to the party’s convention set to take place in Cleveland next month.
At the convention, delegates will likely vote to nominate real estate mogul Donald Trump as the party’s candidate for November’s presidential election.
Shivangi was first elected as a Republican delegate during the 2004 convention in New York City, which nominated President George W. Bush for re-election. In 2008, he was elected as a national delegate, and again in 2012.
“I feel this will be a great political spectacle of our times and I am fortunate enough to witness and participate,” he said in a statement.
The Indian-American Forum, Ohio community leaders, the FIA and the AAPI will combine forces to host a reception on the sidelines of the convention, set to take place from July 17 through the 22, to honor the Indian Ambassador to the U.S. Arun Kumar Singh, the release also said.
