Prime minister Rishi Sunak has fired the starting gun for the general election race – with candidates set to go to the polls on 4 July 2024.

There's been a boundary shakeup in this area, with a new seat in the Commons for Rutland and Stamford, and another for Grantham and Bourne. Melton is now paired with Syston.

Current MP for Melton and Rutland Alicia Kearns will be standing for Rutland and Stamford, and she will try to keep her place in Parliament.

The full list of candidates who have so far been announced are:

  • James Moore (Lib Dem)
  • Christopher Clowes (Reform)
  • Emma Louise Baker (Green)
  • Alicia Kearns (Conservative)

Other parties are due to announce their candidates before the June 7 nomination deadline.
