Labour pick Angeliki Stogia for Gorton by-election

Angeliki Stogia has been selected as the Labour Party candidate for the upcoming Gorton and Denton by-election. The Manchester councillor was chosen to represent the party after Greater Manchester mayor Andy Burnham was denied permission to enter the contest a week ago. The by-election on 26 February in the Greater Manchester constituency was prompted by the resignation of former MP Andrew Gwynne on health grounds. Stogia said she was thrilled and excited as a proud Mancunian woman to start campaigning in the constituency. She said she was so looking forward to going out on the doorstep and winning this for Labour.
