THE region’s Liberal Democrats have chosen a councillor from Bath to be their challenger for the role of Metro Mayor.
Oli Henman has represented the Walcot area of the city on Bath & North East Somerset Council since 2023.
He works as a coordinator aiding community organisations with sustainability.
Cllr Henman will be aiming to better the result of former Bristol MP Stephen Williams, who came fourth out of four in 2021.
Meanwhile the Green Party has changed its candidate for the election on May 1 of a leader for the West of England Combined Authority.
In November, it named Bristol City Councillor Heather Mack but she has stepped back to concentrate on her council role and the party has chosen Mary Page, a media and marketing specialist and former Lib Dem.,
Labour and the Conservatives have both selected former Bristol city councillors, Helen Godwin and Steve Smith respectively, for the election. Reform has yet to name its candidate.
