Full list of General Election candidates in MK and Bucks includes beauty queen and dairy farmer’s wife

A beauty queen and a ‘dairy farmer’s wife’ are just some of the candidates standing to become new MPs in Bucks and MK at the next election.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has ruled out holding a general election on the same day as the local elections – 2 May.

He suggested that polling day would be in the second half of 2024, while former chancellor George Osborne suggested it could be November.

Buckinghamshire has already seen major electoral changes, with the creation of the new Milton Keynes Central constituency in the north of the county.

A Boundary Commission for England review also resulted in the new ‘mid Buckinghamshire’ constituency and other changes, such as the Hazlemere ward moving from Wycombe to Chesham and Amersham.

Across Buckinghamshire’s eight constituencies, 30 candidates have already been announced, including the county’s seven incumbent Conservative and Lib Dem MPs.

Among most recent candidates to launch their campaigns include Carissma Griffiths, a 34-year-old manager in the construction industry, who was crowned ‘Ms Voluptuous UK’ in 2022, and is standing for Labour in Mid Buckinghamshire.

Another new candidate includes Reform UK’s Jane Anne Duckworth, a self-described ‘dairy farmer’s wife and business owner’.
