Dear Chelsea & Fulham resident,
You will be aware that the General Election took place on Thursday 4 July.
Unfortunately, I was not re-elected as Member of Parliament for Chelsea & Fulham.
Please see visit here for the result in full. I knew it was neck and neck in our constituency, and the results show just that, with only 152 votes between the Labour candidate and myself.
I congratulate my successor and wish him good luck in this role.
Most importantly, I would like to thank you and the fellow constituents of Chelsea & Fulham.
Thank you for your inspiration and the opportunity you gave me to serve as Member of Parliament for 19 years.
Being your Member of Parliament has been the greatest honour.
I have also had the honour to serve our country as a Government Minister for over 11 years.
At this point, I would also like to thank my family and many members of ‘Team Hands’ for their dedication in supporting me in this work.
In terms of my future, I am looking forward to a more relaxed summer and will think about plans for the future.
I will continue to live in Chelsea & Fulham, and I am sure I will see you around.
With best wishes for the future,
Greg Hands
Your Member of Parliament, 2005-2024 and Government Minister for most of 2010-2024
