LONDON — Footballer Sol Campbell is fronting a provocative campaign, weeks ahead of the UK general election, to encourage black and ethnic-minority Britons to vote on May 7.

The former England international player is joined by rapper Tinie Tempah, Homeland actor David Harewood and Paralympian Ade Adepitan, who were all photographed with makeup that whitened parts of their skin, as part of the Operation Black Vote campaign.
