St Leonards By Election candidate
We are delighted to announce that Alex Davies has been selected as the Liberal Democrat candidate for St Leonards in the upcoming By Election! The election was caused by a candidate elected as a Green declining to take up her position |
Alex was born and raised in Streatham and became a dedicated local campaigner in the area. He served on Lambeth Council as a councillor before working for the Lib Dems as Vince Cable's chief of staff. Alex has campaigned on a wide variety of local issues, like:

This by election is going to be close. Alex and his team have been out knocking on hundreds of doors and meeting residents since the by election was called and it is very clear people are annoyed that they have been let down by the Greens and forced into having another election so soon after May 7.
Not only could this by election cost tax payers around £25,000*, it will also force many residents into once again having to arrange childcare because their school needs to operate as a polling station. This isn't fair and something needs to be done so it doesn't happen again. |
