Jordan Lewis said: “I’m over the moon to have been selected to contest the election for the Labour Party and I am delighted to see so many friends and family members here with me.
“I will do everything I can to win a seat and provide a fresh new voice in the area at council level”.
Deputy Kelly said: “Jordan is an incredible candidate and it’s easy to see why he is so popular with people. He’s energetic and full of new ideas and as our youngest candidate in the whole country I look forward to working with him and seeing him elected in June”.
