Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Liverpool West Derby Constituency

19 Feb 2026

The Local Party Executive of Liverpool Liberal Democrats invite applications for selection as the Prospective Westminster Parliamentary Candidate for the constituency of Liverpool West Derby. Applications must be received by the Returning Officer no later than 13:00 on Sunday 8 March

Liverpool West Derby constituency represents west of the city centre, including the areas of West Derby, Tuebrook, Old Swan and Broadgreen. The constituency is home to Alder Hey Children’s hospital and Croxteh Hall and country park.

The constituency was redrawn in 2023 and first contested in the 2024 general election. In the previous election we had a vote share of 3.4%. Locally we are aiming to gain our first councillors in our next local elections in 2027.

We believe this constituency is a prime area for growing the Liberal Democrat presence within the city, and we are looking for an enthusiastic PPC to lead this campaign.

To apply applicants must email the Returning Officer:

  • Election Artwork (such as a political cv/manifesto) of no more than one side of A4 in PDF format, which will be used for the member mailing and e-ballot;
  • Their contact details;
  • A signed Candidate Statement & Diversity Form
