Greens celebrate two new seats with wins for both co-leaders

The Green Party has won two new seats, as its co-leaders Carla Denyer and Adrian Ramsay secured victory in Bristol Central and Waveney Valley.

In Bristol, Ms Denyer defeated Labour’s shadow culture secretary Thangam Debbonaire by a majority of 10,000

Mr Ramsay took Waveney Valley from the Conservatives, with a huge swing to his party of 32.1%.

The Green Party also hopes to hold on to its seat in Brighton Pavilion and win in North Herefordshire.

It is currently on course to win seven per cent of the vote which would be its best general election performance yet.

At the last general election in 2019, it secured less than three per cent.

Celebrating her own win, Ms Denyer said Bristol has “made history”.

“As this city’s first Green MP, I promise to be a strong, independent voice for Bristol’s values, pushing the government to be bolder on the issues that matter.”
