Amandeep Singh Bhogal also contested the 2012 London Assembly elections.
A 31-year-old Sikh politician will be the first Indian-origin candidate to contest in the UK General Elections from Northern Ireland on May 7.
Jalandhar-born Amandeep Singh Bhogal is already making his mark on the campaign trail for the Conservative Party in his trademark blue turban.
He represents the Upper Bann constituency in the heart of Northern Ireland, which is currently held by David Simpson of the Democratic Unionist Party (DUP).
"The Conservatives want to end sectarian politics in Northern Ireland and introduce some real normal politics," he said.
"We have a long-term electoral plan," Mr Bhogal said in reference to his decision to stand from what is seen as an un-winnable seat.
Politics seems to a passion for Mr Bhogal, who has moved to Northern Ireland from Kent in England where he grew up.
Over the years, he has put in bids to stand for no fewer than 45 parliamentary seats.
In 2012, he contested the London Assembly elections alongside current mayor Boris Johnson, who he credits for giving him valuable "never to give up" advice.
Mr Bhogal's grandfather came to the UK in 1959 to "achieve better in life, not just to make extra money".
With just four weeks to go until polling day, the campaign is yet to fully ignite in Northern Ireland's 18 constituencies represented in the House of Commons.
