LW: Labour campaigning hard in Luton & Wayfield – with no candidate

Medway’s Labour group has been out campaigning hard to keep the third seat in Luton and Wayfield, despite having not yet chosen a candidate.

AlanWCollins still understands that a candidate may not be chosen for another two weeks, but has learned that, after yesterday’s campaign launch for Conservative Tashi Bhutia, the group are not taking any chances.

The contest will fill the vacancy on Medway Council to join the husband-and-wife pairing of Cllrs Tony and Val Goulden in the Chatham ward.

Other parties seem ever reluctant to make public their intentions, or their candidates, and seem intent on allowing this to become a strongly-fought two horse race.

    It is interesting to consider the above-named parties who have not as yet selected and/or declared their candidate. UKIP stood in this ward in 2003 but not in 2007, and the BNP stood in 2007 but not in 2003. Each of them put up only a single candidate in those three-seat contests.

    Neither party seems to have a genuine interest in Luton and Wayfield, though it would not surprise me if the BNP at least were active in the ward ? not that I can find any evidence that they are, either online or in the ward itself (I have a couple of contacts there).
