Former MPs Amanda Solloway and James Davies take another run at their seats as new contenders take up posts across Wales, the West Midlands, and London.
Yesterday evening’s decision comes in the wake of the row over the application of Nick Timothy for the seat – and his removal from the candidates’ list.
Will it be re-run under the pre-election rules that give more powers to CCHQ?
The shortlist includes two councillors, a former Association Chairman, and a twice-experienced Parliamentary candidate.
