Green Party Announces New Candidate for Makerfield Byelection
Sarah Wakefield, a councillor on Manchester City Council, has been selected as the Green Party's candidate for the upcoming Makerfield byelection. This decision follows the withdrawal of the party's initial candidate from the race.
Upon her announcement, Wakefield expressed her commitment to representing the Green Party in the byelection and emphasized the importance of voter choice in a democratic process.
“I am proud to be representing the in the Makerfield byelection. It is vital in a democracy that voters are given a choice of who they want to vote for.
Together we can bring back the hope that politics can create a better life for ourselves and our children. This is what the Green party represents.
We showed in Gorton and Denton we can take on and beat Reform, whose backward-looking and divisive politics needs to be challenged head-on with a message that the future can be better and fairer than the failed status quo. Don’t vote in anger, vote in hope.”
