BNP Contests a Full Slate of Local Seats in Essex
Besides fielding a full list of candidates for all 69 seats in Great Britain for the European Parliament, the British National Party is also contesting a very wide range of local elections on June 4th.
Over 460 seats will be contested in the County Council elections in England. This is by far the highest number of County Council seats the BNP has ever contested and includes a full slate of 75 seats in Essex. Essex has been identified as a key battleground for the BNP in this year’s elections and is sure to be a hotly contested county.
This is the first time the BNP has ever contested a full slate of seats in a County Council election. In 2005 the BNP only contested 39 County Council seats in the whole of England.
As well as these contests, British National Party candidates are also standing in the Mayoral Elections for Doncaster, Hartlepool and North Tyneside.
