MP Robert Largan has been reselected to stand again at the next general election as the Conservative Party candidate for the High Peak.
He was unanimously reselected by High Peak Conservative Party members in a meeting of the association's Executive Committee.
The MP was elected to Parliament in December 2019 after being first selected to stand for the seat by local party members in October 2018.
The next United Kingdom general election is scheduled to be held no later than January 2025.
A number of MPs from all parties have already announced they will not be standing the next time the country goes to the polls.
Councillor Peter Roberts, Chairman of High Peak Conservative Association, welcomed Mr Largan’s reselection: “I am delighted that Robert Largan has been unanimously reselected as the Conservative Party candidate for the next general election.
“Robert has worked extremely hard for local people, securing hundreds of millions of pounds of investment across the High Peak and successfully reinstating the local breast cancer screening unit.
“His very strong record speaks for itself and we are so proud to have him as a candidate at the next general election.”
MP Largan commented: “I am honoured to have been asked to stand for election again and to be unanimously reselected as the Conservative Candidate for High Peak.
“I am proud of my record of standing up for our area, particularly securing the reinstatement of the local breast cancer screening unit, the upgrade of the Hope Valley railway line, securing £10 million to regenerate Buxton town centre and the approval of the Mottram Bypass & Glossop Spur Road.
“I am also looking forward to continuing with the annual High Peak Jobs & Apprenticeships Fair, which I created.
“Whatever happens, I will continue to go the extra mile for local people. The High Peak is a special place and I want to continue to work with you all to make it even better!”
