Become a Candidate

Ever fancied yourself as a potential councillor?

Ever thought about stepping up as a councillor? Let's dive into what it's all about and how you can throw your hat in the ring!

Our councillors are a bunch of passionate locals who are all about the core values of the Liberal Democrats - fairness and equality. They're the ones who roll up their sleeves and work hard to make our communities better for everyone.

And guess what? We're always on the lookout for fresh faces to join our team. Our councillors are just regular folks who are proud members of the Liberal Democrats and wanted to make a difference in their neighbourhoods.

So, have you ever toyed with the idea of representing your area as a councillor? If you're nodding along with our values, then you could be just the person we're looking for! Our councillors get elected to represent specific parts of Manchester, but they're also out there fighting for Liberal Democrat principles all across the city.

And get this - anyone who's a member of the Liberal Democrats can step up as a candidate. Plus, you'll have our awesome campaign team and volunteers by your side to help you through every step of the process.
