Hayley Pierce

Hayley Pierce has been selected as the Green Party candidate for the upcoming Makerfield byelection. Pierce, described as a nurse and a committed local campaigner, was chosen for the role following a hustings event. The byelection is scheduled for June 18th. This selection comes after a previous candidate, Chris Kennedy, withdrew from the ballot just nine hours after his announcement, citing personal and family reasons. Reports suggest the Green Party may be considering a less resource-intensive campaign in Makerfield, with some members reportedly wary of significant investment in the byelection. Pierce's candidacy now represents the Green Party's effort in this particular electoral contest.
