All Knowsley constituency candidates for general election 2024 - who can I vote for in Huyton, Kirkby, Prescot and Roby

Knowsley has always been a Labour stronghold and is regarded as one of the safest seats in the country.

The current Knowsley parliamentary seat was created in 2010 and has been represented by the incumbent MP Sir George Howarth ever since. Mr Howard was previously elected MP for Knowsley North in 1986, but announced his retirement from frontline politics in June 2023 and will not contest the seat at this year’s general election.

Earlier this year, Anneliese Midgley was selected as the Labour candidate for Knowsley and she will be hoping to maintain the party’s perfect record at the polling stations on July 4.

The Knowsley constituency covers a large part of the metropolitan borough with the highest populated areas being Huyton and Kirkby. The last election in 2019 resulted in a landslide Labour victory as Sir George Howarth was returned to parliament with 80.8% of the vote after a 65.4% turnout.
