Voters in Exeter choose next Tory candidate

Power is being given back to the people by the Conservative Party in Exeter. They are giving voters the chance to choose the next Conservative challenger in the 2015 General Election.

In an exciting move voters in the Exeter constituency are being invited to help choose the new Conservative challenger in this key constituency.

The Exeter Conservative Association has decided to choose a “primary” selection process which will enable every registered voter to apply to attend the selection meeting, where they will be given the opportunity to quiz candidates and vote on who the Conservative candidate should be.

The meeting will be held in Exeter on 18 January.

To attend electors will need to pre-register either by emailing their name, address and contact details to agent@tivertonhonitonconservatives.org.uk or by ringing 01395 233503. Registration will close at 4pm on Friday 17th January. Once the venue is full registrations will close.

Exeter Conservative Chairman Ruth Smith said: “This is great news for the people of Exeter, who will be given the chance to have their say on who should represent the Conservative Party at the next election.

“They will be able to engage in the election process from the very beginning – and could be helping to choose our next MP. By offering the process up to as many people as possible we believe we will find the right candidate, who will give us the best chance of winning this important seat.

“As a party we want to be able to continue the work we have started and to give the hardworking people of Exeter the MP they deserve.”
