Christian May, leader of the Save People’s Park group, which was set up to prevent the future hospital being built on the green space, has said he plans to stand for the seat which was left vacant following Dr Zoe Cameron’s resignation last week.
The 32-year-old, who unsuccessfully stood for Deputy in the 2014 general election, is a qualified English barrister who is chairman of gay rights charity Liberate.
Sarah Ferguson, who narrowly lost her Senatorial seat in the last election, has already announced her intention to stand. Reform Jersey have also said they will be putting forward a candidate for the by-election which is due to be held on 7 September.
