Trafford Council leader Andrew Western has been selected as Labour's candidate for the Stretford and Urmston, triumphing over two female candidates.
The 37-year-old announced his selection on Twitter today. The seat becomes vacant at the next general election, due in 2024, after Kate Green announced in February she would not stand for re-election.
She had represented the safe Labour seat since 2010 and easily beat the Tory candidate into second place with a majority of more than 16,000 votes in 2019.
She served as Shadow Secretary of State for Education from 2020 to 2021, and was Shadow Minister of State for Disabled People under Ed Milliband from 2013 to 2015 but said it was the 'right time for me to move on to new opportunities'.
