Paul Nuttall MEP will not stand in EU election

Date published: 20 April 2019


The North West Member of European Parliament, Paul Nuttall, will not be standing in the upcoming EU election.

In a statement, the Brexit Party MEP said: “I never thought this European election would happen; nor should it. We should have left the European Union on March 29, as promised.

“I do not intend to stand in this election. I do, however, encourage people in the North West to vote for the Brexit Party.

“The battle to free ourselves from the shackles of the EU must continue.

“For my part it has been an honour and a pleasure to represent the people of the North West in the European Parliament for the past decade.”
