Andrew Lewer has been reselected
Northampton South MP by the Conservatives to stand in the constituency at the next general election. Mr Lewer was first elected for the seat in 2017 and won again at the 2019 General Election, extending his majority to nearly 4,700 over Labour.
Mr Lewer was reselected by his constituency association at a meeting on Friday. Labour last held the seat between 1997 and 2005, when Tony Clarke was the MP. It is unclear when the next general election will be held but it needs to take place by January 2025. Mike Reader, who works in the construction industry and lives in Northampton, was selected by Labour members to stand in the seat in March. He said he will fight for a “greener, more prosperous, fairer future for Northampton”.
The Liberal Democrats selected Jill Hope as its candidate last year. She contested the seat for the party in 2017 and 2019, coming fourth and third respectively. A councillor between 1999 and 2007, she also stood for the Lib Dems at general elections in 2001, 2005 and 2010 and a by-election in Corby in 2012.READ NEXT
