Ali, a contestant of Bangladeshi origin, retained her Bethnal Green and Bow seat with a massive 24,317-vote lead over her conservative contender.
She became the first Bengali MP following her win from this constituency in the 2010 election.
In that election, she had defeated her nearest rival by a margin of 11,000 votes.
