FIVE candidates will be competing for residents' votes in each Cheshire West constituency in next month's General Election.
Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Green Party will all be fielding candidates for the City of Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston, Eddisbury and Weaver Vale seats.
The Brexit Party will be standing in all Labour-held seats – City of Chester, Ellesmere Port and Neston, and Weaver Vale – but not in Eddisbury, as part of Nigel Farage's plan to stand down all Brexit Party candidates in Tory-held seats.
However, Farage's former party UKIP will be standing in the Eddisbury constituency.
The full list of candidates are:
City of Chester
Andy Argyle - Brexit Party
Nicholas Brown - Green
Samantha George - Conservatives
Chris Matheson - Labour *
Bob Thompson - Liberal Democrats
Eddisbury
Andrea Allen - UKIP
Louise Jewkes - Green
Antoinette Sandbach - Liberal Democrats *
Terry Savage - Labour
Edward Timpson - Conservatives

Chris Copeman - Green
Ed Gough - Liberal Democrats
Justin Madders - Labour *
Alison Rodwell - Conservatives
Christopher Stevens - Brexit Party
Weaver Vale
Mike Amesbury - Labour *
Paul Bowers - Green
Nicholas Goulding - Brexit
Daniela Parker - Liberal Democrats
Adam Wordsworth - Conservatives
* Denotes winner of seat in 2017 General Election. Antoinette Sandbach stood as a Conservative Party candidate in 2017, but defected to the Liberal Democrats shortly before Parliament was dissolved for the 2019 General Election campaign.
