Local member Loanna Morrison was selected last night to be the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Bermondsey & Old Southwark at the next general election.

Loanna has been a Bermondsey resident for over a decade.  She is a journalist and businesswoman with experience nationally and internationally in media and telecommunications. She runs her own business in London as well as being a single mother of two, with a son in the army.

Commenting on her election Loanna said, "I would like to thank all those who voted for me this evening and who have offered assistance to my campaign.  At the next general election voters across the north of Southwark will have the choice to continue with this failing government and an incumbant MP who has little influence within the House of Commons or to vote for change and help bring in a new Conservative administration. 

Boris won in Bermondsey and Rotherhithe in May pushing the Liberals into third in their supposed heartland.  I intend to work with his team and build on the real benefits he's bringing to the area so that I can repeat his success come the next election."

The Executive would like to thank members from across the constituency who turned out in force at the Bermondsey Village Hall on what was a very cold night.
