Newham Green Party has announced its candidates for each of the three Newham constituencies at the next general election,expected later this year.

Baroness Natalie Bennett, former Green Party Leader, announced the candidates as the party launched its election campaign at the Royal Docks.

They are: Joe Hudson-Small, who lives in Stratford, for the new Stratford and Bow constituency; Rob Callender, the party’s candidate for Mayor of Newham in 2022 is now standing for the West Ham and Beckton constituency; and Rosie Pearce, who lives in Upton Park, is Green Party candidate for East Ham.

A recent poll by the organisation Find Out Now suggests that the new Stratford and Bow constituency is the strongest in London for the Green Party. Newham’s current two parliamentary seats will become three at the next election as a result of boundary changes.
