A Conservative MP has been given the opportunity to fight to retain his Norfolk seat in the next general election.
James Wild MP has been re-adopted as the Conservative Party candidate for North West Norfolk.
Mr Wild, who has represented the constituency since 2019, received unanimous backing from local party members.
He said: "It is a privilege to be the Member of Parliament for North West Norfolk and to be a strong voice for our area.
"I am delighted to have been readopted as, whenever the next election comes, there remains much important work to do in championing West Norfolk, ensuring further investment into our economy, helping constituents with issues they face, and making our area an even better place to live, work, and visit."
Bill Irwin, chairman of the North West Norfolk Conservative Association, said: "Our members strongly support James, as he has shown, through his hard work and commitment, his passion for helping local people and bringing more investment and opportunity to our area."
The Conservatives last week made Mr Wild a shadow minister in the Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport.
The next general election has to tale place no later than August 15, 2029, although prime minister Andy Burnham is able to call a snap election at any time, should he choose to.
