Yahoo News Chorley General Election 2024 full results
Speaker of the House Lindsay Hoyle has retained his seat in Chorley. Tradition dictates that the main parties do not field a candidate in this seat to allow the Speaker a free run. Sir Lindsay has held the role of Speaker since 2019, but has represented Chorley since 1997.
However, in the 2024 General Election some parties did field candidates to go against Sir Lindsay. Candidates who stood included Mark Worsley Tebbutt for the Green Party, Martin Powell-Davies (TUSC), Graham Moore (ECP), and Ben Holden-Crowther (Democracy for Chorley).
