Edmonton Conservatives select Andrew Charalambous as their parliamentary candidate

Edmonton Conservatives are holding a general meeting tonight to select their candidate for the next general election.

The three finalists are:

• Fiona Beverdige
• Andrew Charalambous
• Walaa Idris

The seat is currently held by Andy Love for Labour and he will defend a notional majority of 10,312 at the next election. The Conservative candidate would need a swing of 14.2% to gain the seat.

I will update the post with the winner's identity as soon as the news reaches me.

10pm update: Andrew Charalambous was selected on the first ballot. Read more about him on his website.
