The Liberal Democrats have announced Jackie Pearcey as their candidate for the forthcoming Gorton and Denton by-election.
Pearcey, who has lived locally for decades, said she was “thrilled” to be nominated, adding: “Voters in Gorton and Denton deserve so much more than the failing Labour government or the divisive politics of Reform UK.”
She has served as a governor at Oasis Academy Aspinal in Gorton for more than 20 years.
The by-election on 26 February in the Greater Manchester constituency was triggered by the resignation of Andrew Gwynne on health grounds.
