Reform UK Rochester and Strood

Reform UK is standing in Rochester and Strood as part of its campaign to contest all 650 constituencies at the next general election. The party — which is polling at over 25% nationally — is rapidly building its local branch network, with Rochester and Strood among the constituencies where activists are organising.

The current MP is Lauren Edwards, who has held the seat for the Labour since the 2024 general election. Reform UK is targeting seats across England and Wales as it seeks to convert its national poll ratings into parliamentary representation.
