Prospective parliamentary candidates are in the process of being selected for the 2024 general election.[1]

Due to the 2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies, most constituency boundaries will change at this election. The tables below show both the new and old constituency names. Candidates may have been selected on either the old or the new boundaries.[2] A number of former MPs intend to stand in the election including Douglas Alexander, Heidi Alexander and Matthew Green.[3]

As of 24 May 2024, a total of 120 MPs have announced they are standing down at the election.[4]

Candidate selection process

Each party has its own selection process. The processes used by Labour and the Conservatives have been described by PoliticsHome as "secretive" and "controversial".[5]

In June 2022, former Channel 4 journalist Michael Crick launched a Twitter account called Tomorrow's MPs, documenting the selection process of parties candidates in the runup to the next general election.[6]

Conservative

On 5 April 2023, Home Secretary and Fareham MP Suella Braverman defeated Meon Valley MP Flick Drummond by a majority of local party members of 77 to 54, to be preselected for the new seat of Fareham and Waterlooville.[7] Drummond later won the contest to be selected for Winchester, a seat far more likely to be gained by the Liberal Democrats.

On 17 April 2023, Chairman of the Conservative Party Greg Hands announced the first 19 seats that would open selections.[8] The seats were listed by ConservativeHome as Bicester and Woodstock, Calder Valley, Camborne and Redruth, Canterbury, Coventry South, Earley and Woodley, Eltham and Chislehurst, Hazel Grove, Hove and Portslade, Isle of Wight East, Kingston upon Hull West and Hessle, Milton Keynes South, Norwich North, Selby, South Cambridgeshire, South West Devon, Tamworth, West Bromwich and West Lancashire.[9]

On 29 May, the Conservative Campaign Headquarters announced the next 24 seats that would open selections: Altrincham and Sale West, Bishop Auckland, Bromsgrove, Broxbourne, Chippenham, Coventry North West, Eastleigh, Esher and Walton, Exeter East and Exmouth, Halifax, Hendon, Henley, Mid Bedfordshire, Newport West and Islwyn, Norwich South, Reigate, Rugby, Scarborough and Whitby, South Shropshire, Stevenage, Stoke-on-Trent Central, Walsall and Bloxwich, West Suffolk and Wolverhampton West.[10]

On 2 June 2023, Bromsgrove Conservatives began their selection process for a candidate.[11]

On 12 June, Boris Johnson resigned as an MP, triggering a by-election.[12][13] The same day, Nigel Adams also resigned as an MP.[14] On 19 June, David Warburton gave up his seat in Parliament.[15]

On 11 August, the Conservatives opened selections for 26 seats: Alyn and Deeside, Bridlington and The Wolds, Bristol North West, Bury South, Clwyd North, Colchester, Crawley, Croydon East, Doncaster North, Dorking and Horley, Frome and East Somerset, Glastonbury and Somerton, Heywood and Middleton North, Huntingdon, Leeds East, Leeds West and Pudsey, Mid Cheshire, North West Leicestershire, Pontefract, Castleford and Knottingley, Richmond Park, Sittingbourne and Sheppey, Southampton Itchen, St Albans, Wakefield and Rothwell, Waveney Valley and Wirral West.[16]

Nadine Dorries announced her intentions to resign and officially resigned on 29 August.[17] Chris Pincher left Parliament on 7 September.[18]

On 22 September, nominations opened in 10 seats: Bath, Bolton South and Walkden, Bridgend, Coventry South, Lancaster and Wyre, Norwich North, Telford, West Bromwich, Westmorland and Lonsdale and Wimbledon.[19]

On 30 September 2023, The Telegraph reported that the Conservatives had only selected 65 candidates out of their target of 100 before the Conservative Party Conference.[20]

On 13 October 2023, nominations opened in 18 seats: Bristol North East, Cardiff North, Cardiff West, Chester North and Neston, City of Durham, Croydon West, Dwyfor Meirionnydd, Gower, Hampstead and Highgate, Harrow West, Leicester East, Mid Cheshire, Nottingham East, Oxford West and Abingdon, Queens Park and Maida Vale, Wirral West, Wolverhampton South East and Wolverhampton West.[21]

On 23 November 2023, Nick Rose the candidate for Norwich North resigned.[22]

In late 2023, two candidates were removed after MI5 warned in 2021 that they were potential Chinese spies.[23] In April 2024, the selection process was internally criticised by party members for "purging Brexit-backing candidates".[24] The preferred selection of One Nation Conservatives by the party leadership over right-wing candidates has been reported on.[25] This included the former Deputy Leader of the UK Independence Party and Conservative MEP David Campbell Bannerman who was blocked in South Norfolk.[26]

Labour

In March 2021, the local parties in East Ham and West Ham were suspended following allegations of electoral fraud, disbanding the internal selections committee.[27] This was a precursor to contentious selections across East London, between centrist supporters of Keir Starmer and Momentum-backed supporters of former leader Jeremy Corbyn.[28]

The Labour Party selected many prospective parliamentary candidates throughout 2022.[29][30][31]

In July 2022, a trigger ballot was held in Ilford South to determine whether MP Sam Tarry should face reselection; Tarry lost the vote by 57.5% to 42.5%.[32] On 10 October 2022 a reselection vote was held, which Tarry lost to local council leader Jas Athwal by 361 votes to 499.[33] In late 2022, councillor Dominic Beck stood down as Labour PPC for Rother Valley.[34]

By 1 January 2023, a total of 77 Constituency Labour Parties had selected prospective parliamentary candidates.[35]

In February 2023, BBC News reported that local Labour parties were being overruled over parliamentary selections by "a clique in London".[36] Nine members of the selection committee in Bolton North East Parliamentary Labour Party resigned after the national party imposed a shortlist on them.[37] The main contention was over the fact that Leigh Drennan, the chair of North West Labour, was not shortlisted despite being endorsed by Deputy Labour Leader Angela Rayner.[38]

In March 2023, Labour's national executive committee resolved not to endorse Jeremy Corbyn for Islington North in the next general election, preventing him from seeking re-election as a Labour candidate.[39] It is not yet known if the local Labour Party will be able to select a new candidate.[40]

On 23 May 2023, eleven members of the Copeland local Labour Party executive resigned following the decision of the National Executive Committee of the Labour Party not to longlist local councillor Joseph Ghayouba for selection.[41] Local officials said it showed a "shameless disregard for democracy" by Labour's national ruling body.[42] On 6 June 2023, former Copeland PPC Gillian Troughton withdrew from the selection in Whitehaven and Workington, describing the selection process as "frustrating and ultimately disenfranchising".[43]

On 26 May 2023, the Wirral West Constituency Labour Party was suspended by the national party, following complaints.[44] This was the same week that the local MP Margaret Greenwood announced that she will be standing down at the next general election.[45] As Wirral South is set to be abolished, incumbent MP Alison McGovern challenged neighbouring MP Mick Whitley for the nomination in Birkenhead.[46] Whitley was deselected on 16 June 2023.[47]

On 7 June 2023, MP for Merthyr Tydfil and Rhymney Gerald Jones defeated MP for Cynon Valley Beth Winter for his party's selection to become the Labour candidate for the new parliamentary seat of Merthyr Tydfil and Aberdare, which will be contested at the next UK general election.[48] The seat was renamed from Merthyr Tydfil and Upper Cynon in the final recommendations.[49]

From 15 to 16 July, 100 Labour PPCs were given a weekend for a crash course in "message discipline, media training and the art of campaigning" in Stratford-upon-Avon.[50]

On 27 July 2023, Labour opened selections for 94 "non-priority" parliamentary seats.[51] On 31 August 2023, Labour suspended the CLP in Leicester East amid the process of selecting a new candidate to replace Claudia Webbe.[52]

On 5 September 2023, Labour suspended its leadership team in the Bolton North East constituency following a disagreement over the selection of a prospective parliamentary candidate.[53]

On 8 December 2023, Labour opened selections for 211 ‘non-battleground’ parliamentary seats.[54]

In March 2024, Joel Bodmer withdrew from the selection process in Croydon East alleging abuse.[55] This was following an unauthorised breach of data.[56]

By 22 May 2024, LabourList reported that approximately 100 seats did not have Labour candidates announced yet.[57]

Liberal Democrats

President of the Liberal Democrats Mark Pack lists prospective parliamentary candidates on his website.[58]

In March 2024, Liberal Democrat PPC for South Shropshire Chris Naylor stood down due to ill health.[59]

Scottish National Party

SNP MPs are not automatically reselected to stand, the party has a full open reselection process. To be nominated to take part in a selection contest a party member requires either a nomination by their local campaigns committee, or 50 local branch members.[60]

On 25 August 2023, Patrick Grady was not approved as a candidate for the next general election. Glasgow Central MP Alison Thewliss ultimately won the selection contest in his seat of Glasgow North.[61] East Kilbride, Strathaven and Lesmahagow MP Lisa Cameron criticised the "party hierarchy" when she faced a reselection challenge, like many sitting members, per the party rules, claiming she had spoken out about Grady.[62] She claimed she had been ostracised by the party leadership[63] and threatened to resign and call by-election in protest.[64] Cameron was challenged by Grant Costello, a digital manager for the SNP's Westminster group who lives in the constituency. Costello was endorsed by MSPs Christina McKelvie and Collette Stevenson. Ultimately, on 12 October 2023, Cameron — a social conservative — left the SNP altogether and defected to the Conservatives, two hours before the two weeks of voting was due to conclude. Grant Costello, who was leading in the voting,[65] won the selection for SNP candidate for the new seat of East Kilbride and Strathaven. Cameron is reportedly not standing for parliament again.[66][67] The same day 8 other candidates were also announced.[68]

Argyll and Bute MP Brendan O'Hara is being challenged for reselection by Helensburgh councillor Math Campbell-Sturgess.[69] In Glasgow East, David Linden won a selection contest against neighbouring MP Alison Thewliss, whose constituency was spilt into seven.[70]

In Falkirk, two SNP councillors Gary Bouse and Paul Garner launched their campaign to succeed John McNally.[71] Toni Giugliano was cleared of breaking selection rules.[72]

On the eve of the 2023 Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election Mhairi Black reportedly threatened to quit the SNP.[73] This was over her wishes to be succeeded as SNP candidate for Paisley and Renfrewshire South by her senior adviser Robert Innes.[74] Jacqueline Cameron, the depute leader of Renfrewshire Council stood against him.[75] On 26 October 2023, Cameron was declared selected by 60%.[76]

Green parties

The Green Party of England and Wales confirmed in January 2024[77] that it aims to field candidates in all 575 constituencies in England and Wales.

Plaid Cymru

Plaid Cymru Leader Rhun ap Iorwerth was named as the candidate for Ynys Môn.[78] In October 2023 he was replaced as candidate by Llinos Medi.[79]

Reform UK

For the 2019 general election, the Brexit Party (the former name of Reform UK) did not stand candidates in seats where the Conservative party won in 2017.[80] Leader Richard Tice ruled out a similar arrangement for this election,[81] and stated his party's intention to stand in 630 seats.[82]

The party pulled some of its prospective candidates for controversial social media comments.[83] However, it has also given its support to other parliamentary candidates that are standing for the party that have spread conspiracy theories.[84]

After media speculation on the question, honorary president and former leader Nigel Farage declared he would not be standing as a candidate.[85]

Workers Party of Britain

During his victory speech following the 2024 Rochdale by-election, George Galloway claimed his Workers Party had 59 candidates ready to contest a general election.[86] Later, in a tweet from 2 March Galloway confirmed that this total increased to 79.[87]

Other parties

Gina Miller’s True and Fair party plan to contest a small number of constituencies.[88]

The British Democrats have so far confirmed two prospective parliamentary candidates in the 2024 general election: Christopher Bateman in Basildon and Billericay, and Lawrence Rustem in Faversham and Mid Kent.[89]

Independents

Jeremy Corbyn is standing as an independent in Islington North.[90]

Candidates by constituency

Candidates in bold were MPs at dissolution and represented a constituency in that parliamentary term which is succeeded at least partially by the constituency they're standing for election in at this election, in some cases not for the party they were aligned with when they were originally elected, and also includes those elected at by-elections in the preceding parliament. Italics denotes incumbent MPs not contesting the election.

MPs deselected or seeking a new constituency

See also: Preselection and Deselection of Labour MPs

Some sitting MPs have not been selected by their party to recontest their seat (or a successor seat). Options available to these MPs include standing down, challenging their non-selection, seeking selection for another seat, and contesting the election under a different banner.

MPs changing constituencies

Due to boundary changes, most MPs standing for re-election will seek to represent a seat at least slightly different from their present seat. However, in some cases sitting MPs have secured selection to stand in a substantially or completely different seat from their present seat. They may happen because their seat is marginal and likely to be lost by their party, losing preselection to another candidate, boundary changes abolish their present seat or their present seat is redrawn in an unfavourable way in boundary changes.

Members of Parliament changing constituencies
MP Current constituency First elected Party (as elected) New constituency Note
Stuart Anderson Wolverhampton South West 2019 Conservative South Shropshire While there are no significant changes to Anderson's current seat, it is a marginal Conservative seat, whereas South Shropshire is likely a safe Conservative seat. He had initially announced he would not stand for re-election but subsequently reversed his decision.[citation needed]
Simon Baynes Clwyd South 2019 Conservative North Shropshire Selected for North Shropshire after his current seat is being abolished in boundary changes. North Shropshire, which the Liberal Democrats gained in a 2021 by-election, contains none of Baynes' present seat.[264]
Mims Davies Mid Sussex[t] 2019 Conservative East Grinstead and Uckfield Selected for East Grinstead and Uckfield due to boundary changes in her current seat.[265]
Flick Drummond Meon Valley 2019 Conservative Winchester Selected for Winchester in July 2023 as her present seat is being abolished. The reconfigured Winchester seat contains about 25% of the Meon Valley seat. Drummond sought selection for the proposed Fareham and Waterlooville seat, which contains a larger proportion of her current seat and is forecast to be much safer for the Conservatives than Winchester (a key Liberal Democrat target), but was defeated by Suella Braverman, the MP for Fareham and then–Home Secretary.[citation needed]
Damien Egan Kingswood 2024 Labour Bristol North East Selected for Bristol North East in July 2023. Elected in the 2024 Kingswood by-election triggered by the resignation of Chris Skidmore in January 2024.[citation needed]
Mary Glindon North Tyneside 2010 Labour Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend Selected for Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend due to boundary changes in her current seat.[266]
Paul Holmes Eastleigh 2019 Conservative Hamble Valley Selected to the new Hamble Valley seat. The new seat contains 48% of his current seat.[267]
Eddie Hughes Walsall North 2017 Conservative Tamworth Selected for Tamworth as his current constituency is being abolished, and the main successor seat of Walsall and Bloxwich was considered significantly more vulnerable to the Labour Party than Tamworth, where the incumbent MP Chris Pincher announced he would be standing down following a scandal.[268] Pincher resigned in September 2023 and Labour's Sarah Edwards won the subsequent by-election; Hughes has nevertheless since maintained his candidacy for this constituency.
Jeremy Hunt South West Surrey 2005 Conservative Godalming and Ash Chancellor of the Exchequer Jeremy Hunt was selected for the newly created Godalming and Ash constituency in January 2023,[269] as his current constituency is set to be abolished. The western part of the existing seat, comprising the majority of the electorate and including the towns of Farnham and Haslemere will be combined with parts of the District of East Hampshire to create the new Farnham and Bordon constituency. The Godalming and Ash seat will comprise Godalming and the area of the North Downs to the south of the existing constituency.[270]
Sarah Jones Croydon Central 2017 Labour Croydon West Standing for election in the new safe seat of Croydon West (containing 11% of the to-be-abolished Croydon Central) rather than the more marginal Croydon East (contains 83% of Croydon Central).[271]
Kenny MacAskill East Lothian 2019 Alba Alloa and Grangemouth The Alba Party candidate will be former MP George Kerevan. MacAskill will stand in a different seat.[272]
Alison McGovern Wirral South 2010 Labour Birkenhead Selected for Birkenhead due the abolition of her present constituency, defeating incumbent MP for Birkenhead Mick Whitley in the selection process.[273] The reconfigured Birkenhead contains a small part of her present seat.[274]
Alec Shelbrooke Elmet and Rothwell 2010 Conservative Wetherby and Easingwold Selected for Wetherby and Easingwold due to his current seat being abolished and broken up between four other seats. Wetherby and Easingwold will take in the Harewood and Wetherby wards of Leeds, but is otherwise based in North Yorkshire rather than West Yorkshire.[275]
Iain Stewart Milton Keynes South 2010 Conservative Buckingham and Bletchley Selected for the new Buckingham and Bletchley seat, as his present seat is being abolished.[276]
Alistair Strathern Mid Bedfordshire 2023 Labour Hitchin Elected for Mid Bedfordshire at a by-election in October 2023. Announced in January 2024 that he would contest the new constituency of Hitchin which will include a small part of his current seat around his home town of Shefford.[277]
Alison Thewliss Glasgow Central 2015 SNP Glasgow North Selected for Glasgow North due to her current seat being abolished.[278] This was after unsuccessfully challenging David Linden for the nomination in Glasgow East.[279]
