Darren Selkus, a proud resident of Hertsmere, refuses to be just another cog in the political machine.

Full statement

Disillusioned by the empty promises and lack of accountability from mainstream politicians, he has taken on the role of Reform UK PPC for Hertsmere with a fierce determination to challenge the status quo.

A former British Army veteran, Darren brings with him a wealth of leadership experience and a deep sense of duty to his community. As the CEO of UV Group Plc, he understands the importance of effective leadership and practical solutions. Married with two kids and two dogs, Darren's personal life grounds him in the everyday realities of the people he aims to represent.

Darren's journey into politics was catalyzed by the aftermath of the 2016 Brexit referendum, where he witnessed the disregard for the democratic process firsthand. This spurred him to join the Brexit Party and eventually become the Prospective Parliamentary Candidate for Epping Forest. Since then, his passion for reform and accountability has only grown stronger.

His platform is bold and unapologetic. Darren advocates for a smaller state where individuals have more control over their lives. He is staunchly opposed to the Net Zero agenda, viewing it as economically damaging and environmentally ineffective. Darren is committed to reducing taxes, fostering economic growth, and implementing sensible immigration policies. Furthermore, he aims to overhaul public services, including the NHS, to ensure they are efficient and accessible to all.

For Darren, politics is not about personal gain; it's about making a tangible difference in the lives of ordinary people. In the General Election on the 4th July he looks forward to taking on the incumbent MP, Oliver Dowden, and hold the Westminster establishment accountable.

In a political landscape marred by apathy and disillusionment, Darren Selkus stands out as a beacon of hope for those yearning for real change. With his unwavering dedication, military discipline, and business acumen, he is poised to challenge the entrenched interests and truly represent the voices of Hertsmere. As he aptly puts it, "If you want change, you have to change your vote." And Darren Selkus is here to lead that change.
