People across Lichfield and Burntwood will get the chance to select their MP when the country goes to the polls in July.
The Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has confirmed a General Election will be held this summer.
The vote will take place on 4th July.
So far, two parties have indicated who their candidates will be, with the Conservatives hoping Sir Michael Fabricant can extend his run as MP for another term, while Reform UK has said Richard Howard will be their representative in the vote.
A regional business leader has welcomed confirmation the country would be going to the polls.
Raj Kandola, director of external affairs at Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce, said:
“After months of speculation, businesses will be pleased to see a date has been set for the upcoming General Election, ending a period of unwelcome uncertainty.
“As an apolitical organisation, we look forward to reviewing the manifestos produced by parties across the spectrum in order to forensically analyse their plans for driving economic prosperity.”

Let’s have a change, vote tactically so we remove Sir M but not elect Reform.
Michael IS the Conservative Party – which
Is why he voted to allow water companies
To discharge sewage into Lichfield rivers.
He defends the Conservatives at every opportunity. He defended Truss, Boris, Rishi, Chris Pincher, Neil “tractor porn” Parish, Matt Hancock……(I could go on)
Michael even supported Lee Anderson and Suella Braverman for heaven sake!!!
We need a change.
In the last fourteen years it is undeniable that the everyday quality of our lives has deteriorated. The fundamental things we need for our families have all suffered change. Cost of living from food, power and all utility bills have increased beyond reasonability.
We perceive politics on three levels; International, National and Local. In all three our performance has been poor. The NHS, crime, immigration, taxation, infrastructure, schooling and economy management (amongst many other issues) have all been badly handled.
It is improbable that solutions could be effective in one political term but to see ernest endeavour and transparency from those who have control over our lives would be a welcome alternative from what our families have been suffering.
Please vote tactically. Reform or lib dems might sound good but why risk it. We have to get this god awful party and MP out.
