THE Lib Dem candidate for a hotly contested seat has been announced.
Oli Henman has been selected as the party’s candidate for the seat of Lewes in the event of a general election.
He will compete against Tory MP Maria Caulfield, who has a majority of more than 5,000 votes.
He said: “I am excited to be selected to stand for the Lewes constituency, a beautiful part of the country which I am delighted to call home.
“However, our area is facing major challenges.
“The devastating Tory cuts of recent years have undermined our local services and the
threat of a damaging no-deal Brexit is critically endangering our local economy.
“The next election, when it finally comes, will mark a crucial moment for the future of our country.
“People will face a stark choice between the continued chaos.”
