Reform UK Southend West and Leigh

Reform UK is standing in Southend West and Leigh 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 Southend West and Leigh among the constituencies where activists are organising.

The current MP is David Burton-Sampson, 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.
