Nus Ghani has been unanimously reselected as the Conservative candidate to represent the Wealden constituency in the House of Commons. A general election to elect all 650 MPs will be held on Thursday 8 June.
In a specially arranged selection meeting of the Wealden Conservative Association held last Friday 5 May, Nus was chosen to fight the seat she first won in May 2015 with the largest ever Conservative majority of 22,967 and 57% of the vote.
The snap general election was called by Prime Minister Theresa May last month. Following the Dissolution of Parliament on Wednesday 3 May, Ms Ghani and her colleagues ceased to be Members of Parliament in advance of the official start of the general election campaign.
Nus Ghani said: “I am delighted to have been reselected to stand once again as a candidate to represent Wealden in Parliament. It was the privilege of a lifetime to be Wealden’s MP and I would be honoured if I was given the opportunity to continue being a strong voice for Wealden in Westminster.
“From standing up for the interests of Wealden’s farming community and pushing for infrastructure upgrades in our towns, to promoting our national security on the Armed Forces Bill Committee and lobbying for more funding for our schools, there is much I am proud of but even more still to achieve.”
“The next five weeks are important for our country and important for our local communities. I am ready for the fight and will be proud to defend my record.”
