July 19th, 2024 — Quadrupling its parliamentary representation, last Thursday was an enormous success for the Green Party of England and Wales. In 47 constituencies across the country, the party came in second place, setting themselves as challengers to sitting MPs at the next General Election – many of these in East London.
Barking, Dagenham and Havering (BDH) Green Party also had a fantastic set of results across all four constituencies within our party area.
• In Barking, we came less than 200 votes from second place, and ahead of the Conservative Party.
• In Dagenham and Rainham, we saw an almost 10% swing towards the party.
• In both Hornchurch and Upminster and Romford, the party saw vote share increases that set us up nicely for the 2026 local elections.
• We kept our deposits in all four parliamentary constituencies.
The BDH Green Party would like to thank all those that voted, donated and campaigned for us in the recent sets of elections.
Special thanks also goes to local party Chair, Melanie Collins. Simon Anthony, Green Party parliamentary candidate for Barking said, “I wish to give public recognition to Melanie Collins who not only was a candidate but also acted as the election agent for all four candidates in Barking and Havering.”
