Sir Nicholas and David after the Open Primary
David Rutley was selected as the Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for Macclesfield at an Open Primary at Fallibroome High School on 17th October.
At a time when political parties need to engage voters more actively in the political process, the Open Primary was a real success in involving the people of Macclesfield in deciding who would become the Conservative Candidate.
Three hundred residents registered to attend the event. Those that attended had the chance to question vigorously all the participants in the contest and then to vote for their preferred candidate.
After the Open Primary, David Rutley said, “I would like to thank all those who attended and organised the Open Primary to select the Conservative candidate for Macclesfield. It was a great honour to have been chosen as the candidate at that meeting.”
Sir Nicholas Winterton DL MP added “I know that David will continue the tradition of being a hard working constituency MP who will fight for Macclesfield and the people of Macclesfield.”
