Former Kent Conservative MP defects to Reform

A former conservative MP of nearly 20 years has announced his defection to join Nigel Faraz’s reform party.

Adam Holowway represented Graveshum from 2005 to 2024 before losing his seat for Labor Sulivan in last year’s general election.

Speaking to the BBC, Mr. Holowway underlined his reasons for involvement in the reform, while insisting that he was not completely inspired by ambitions that he became an MP again.

The Conservative Party member and former MP of South Police Station, Lord Craig McKinley said he was “sorry” that Mr. Holowway had left his party the best to defeat Labor.

Mr. Holowway admitted that he first posted on social media, “Ek Vote for Reform is one vote for labor”, but said that he “no longer believes” in that statement.

Asked if his defection was inspired by the opportunity to become an MP again for Graveshum, Mr. Holowway insisted that he was not a “career”.

He said that it was “on his brain” likely that there was a possibility that the reform would give him a strong chance to return to Parliament, insisting that he had “no hope of being a grayvesh MP” after the next election “.

“I am involved in reform because I think this is the best chance to recover the country from labor,” he said.

Mr. Holowe, who was a former British Army officer, stated that conservatives currently saw “an effective opposition” and saw the reform as a “rescue mission”.

“The issue is that there are serious social and economic problems in the country, and potentially an economic disaster over the next few years is during the time of great global insecurity,” he said.

He said that he did not believe that the reform was correct, but insisted that it was only the party to see and feel the limits of the country’s problems “.

Lord McKinley said that his former colleague had a “talent” in his party and he was “disturbed” that he would not be chosen as the next election as conservative.

He said, “We have got a lot of work to ensure that we have agreed to win elections and form the next government.”

Other former conservative MPs have joined the reform since the last election, including former party president Sir Jake Berry, former Wales Secretary David Jones and Dame Andrea Jenkins, who won the Greater Lincolnshire Meyalty for the party in May.

Mr. Faraj said that he was “happy” to welcome Mr. Holowway, he said that his parliamentary and military experiences would be “important” before the next election.

He said: “His bold steps show that we are the only serious options in Kent and a will for the magnificent work of our councilors.”

Mr. Holowway worked as a journalist for ITV and ITN before the Parliament elections in 2005.

A strong supporter of Brexit, he was a whip in a briefly under Boris Johnson and Liz Trus and was one of the six Tory MPs to vote against Mr. Johnson, when he was found to be misguided on the partygate scam.
