Finishing the job in Farnham & Bordon
At the last General Election, with Khalil Yousuf we came within just 1,349 votes of victory, one of the closest results anywhere in England.
In a brand-new constituency, with no sitting MP, our team turned Farnham & Bordon into a genuine Liberal Democrat battleground and a top tier target seat for the first time.
Khalil kept his promises in the last selection. In just five months, he raised over £50,000, built a team of more than 200 volunteers, and together we delivered 200,000 pieces of literature, and knocked on 11,000 doors. It was an extraordinary achievement, powered by energy, professionalism and belief in what can be done when people pull together. That near-miss was a springboard. It proved that with the right candidate, campaign plan and resources, we can win here. Khalil has shown he can inspire supporters, lead teams, and organise a first-class local operation from scratch.
Khalil has already proved he can turn promise into performance.
Now it’s time to back his plan, and win Farnham & Bordon for the Liberal Democrats at the next General Election.
