The party held a general election campaign launch in the town this week
Success in Bolton ’s three parliamentary seats is ‘essential’ to Labour’s chances of national election victory, party activists have been told. The party held a general election campaign launch event at the University of Bolton Business School in the town centre on Wednesday morning.
Two of Bolton’s seats are currently Conservative held. Chris Green has been the member for Bolton West since 2015 and, when the seat was last contested in 2019, he won by 8,855 votes, the largest majority of any Conservative MP in Greater Manchester. Other parties standing for the seat on July 4 are the Liberal Democrats, who announced Donald McIntosh as their candidate, Reform, who will have Dylan Evans standing, and the Greens who named climate campaigner Vicki Attenborough as their candidate.
In all three constituencies the full list of candidates will be announced after the June 7 deadline for nominations. Introducing the party candidates at the Labour event to around 120 activists, council leader Nick Peel, said: “Unless we take Bolton North East and Bolton West we will not get a majority Labour government in this country.“The election of three Labour MPs in Bolton is an essential part of that task. The fight isn’t just against the Tories.
She added: “This is the moment we have been waiting for for a long time, the general election. One of the jobs I’ve got as shadow leader of the house is I’ve got to put together that first King’s Speech if Labour are elected.
