THE political party Reform UK made their presence felt in Formby, on Wednesday, 26 June 2024, when they held a joint political rally on behalf of their local candidates.

The evening event was hosted by Reform UK Sefton Central candidate Nagender Chindam (NG for short) and his group of dedicated volunteers. Andrew Lynn for Reform UK Southport also attended and gave a speech detailing Reform’s key policies. Nick Goulding, the candidate for Chester North & Neston, was the guest speaker.

Sefton Central constituency covers Ainsdale, Formby, Hightown, Crosby, Maghull and Lydiate. NG is challenging Labour's Bill Esterson who has represented the area for 14 years. Many local residents who attended this rally said they are hoping for a big change for Sefton Central in the upcoming General Election.

Reform UK said:- "NG is a small business owner in Southport. He is passionate about this country, which came across in his speech and wants to give something back, hence his decision to stand in the election. Andrew Lynn is a 3rd generation Sandgrounder, his grandparents moved to Birkdale after World War 2. Andrew has worked extensively, both in the UK and overseas. Andrew is standing against Damien Moore, from the Conservative party, who has represented Southport since 2017."

The final speech of the evening was from Nick Goulding, the Reform UK candidate for Chester North and Neston, who spoke about several important issues that resonated with the audience, including:- national defence, the armed forces and our veterans.

The evening ended with a Q&A session from the audience, with all 3 candidates, all back onstage.

Reform UK added:- "After attending this event, to us, it is clear that people are fed up and frustrated with both main political parties to date, and that all are hoping for a big change come 4th July….. Vote for change….Vote Reform UK…."
