A 29 year-old self-employed businessman has joined the race to be elected in Malew and Santon.
Manxman Gareth Kelly, who has lived in Santon all his life, will contest the constituency in September’s General Election.
With a life-long interest in politics, Mr Kelly feels it’s the right time to step into politics and government needs strong MHKs with drive, motivation and commitment for the challenges ahead.
He’s vowing to bring a fresh approach but not be afraid to make difficult decisions and insists
government needs to reconnect with the people they represent.
