Budding politicians battled it out for votes to lead Harrow's younger version of Westminster.
Harrow Youth Parliament has been running since 2004 and is made up of 75 members, who have now elected a new chairman and executive.
The Youth Parliament regularly meets MPs and councillors from all parties, as well as key decision makers at the council.
The parliament follow the same model as Westminster, with regular debates on key issues, and runs regular campaigns and events across the borough.
Dina Khadum, 16, was elected chairman and Zak Wagman retained his role as Member of Youth Parliament.
Zak will continue to raise young people's issues on a national level by meeting other Members of Youth Parliament across the country and by debating at the UK Youth Parliament annual sitting at the House of Commons later this year.
Dina said: “I am delighted to be elected as chairman for Harrow Youth Parliament. I will use this position to ensure young people in Harrow are well represented.
“It’s been a productive year for our youth parliament and we will make sure the next 12 months are just as successful.”
