Today the Prime Minister announced a General Election will be held on 4th July 2024.
Alicia Kearns, Member of Parliament for Rutland and Melton, said:
"Until midnight on Wednesday 29th May I remain the Member of Parliament for Rutland and Melton as we finish voting on important legislation, but after this I will become the Conservative Parliamentary candidate for our new constituency of Rutland and Stamford.
"It has been an honour to serve as your MP over the past four and a half years, fighting relentlessly for the communities I had the privilege of representing and supporting over 30,000 residents in need of help. I’m proud to have delivered on my election promises and to have fought relentlessly for our communities and made our voices heard in Parliament. I'd like to thank my team who have been incredible and everyone in our communities who have shown such kindness to me as your MP."
"During the election I will as ever be out on the doors listening to residents on what matters most to us all, and working hard to win your confidence and the honour of being elected as your MP for Rutland and Stamford."
