At a special meeting of the Burnley and Padiham Conservative Association, Antony was again chosen to fight for the seat he won in 2019, when he became the area’s first Conservative MP in 109 years.
“Being the Member of Parliament for Burnley & Padiham is an enormous privilege, and I am honoured to have been re-selected as the Conservative candidate for the next election,” said Antony.
“Our area is incredibly special. We are industrious, entrepreneurial, community minded and proud. And over the past three and a half years, I have worked tirelessly to deliver the change that our borough has needed for so long – repaying the trust that was placed in me – and to be the most visible and accessible MP in our borough’s history.
“And change is now being delivered. Our town centres in Burnley and Padiham are being regenerated; UCLan and Burnley College are growing at a record rate; businesses are investing for growth; and we are coming out of the difficulties created by Covid and Ukraine.
“I want to say thank you to those who continue to put their trust in me as we look ahead to the next general election, where we will have the opportunity to continue the transformation that started in 2019.”
