Members of the potential new intake who have fought the same seat twice or three times

Here is the latest in a series of lists categorising some of those standing as candidates in seats which are either notionally Conservative or appear on paper in the top 200 target seats for the Conservatives at the next election.

Below is a list of the nine candidates who are contesting the same seat for the third successive general election (or a renamed seat close to its previous incarnation after boundary changes):

1. Ken Andrew (Carshalton and Walllington)
2. Neil Carmichael (Stroud)
3. Oliver Colvile (Plymouth Sutton and Devenport)
4. Nick de Bois (Enfield North)
5. Robert Halfon (Harlow, pictured)
6. Karen Lumley (Redditch)
7. Mark Reckless (Rochester and Strood)
8. Henry Smith (Crawley)
9. Iain Stewart (Milton Keynes South)

Meanwhile, no fewer than 34 candidates are fighting the same seat for a second general election, of which all but two are fighting the seat for the second election in a row (ie they stood there in 2005). As for the previous list, it may be that the successor seat has a different name after boundary changes.
