THE Liberal Democrats will be hoping their choice of parliamentary candidate will translate to success at the ballot box.
WGC-born Hugh Annand has been selected as the party's candidate for the North East Hertfordshire constituency.
The 35-year-old, who studied modern languages and politics at Loughborough, has spent the last five years working as a translator in Belgium.
Mr Annand was confirmed as candidate at a meeting of local party members in Letchworth on Friday.
He said: "Having served the local Liberal Democrats in other ways, I am delighted to be back serving it and the wider local community as a prospective parliamentary candidate.
"I look forward to spending time between now and the next election listening to local people and working to ensure that they get the representation they deserve."
Mr Annand joined the party in 2001, and served on the executive committee of the constituency party from 2002 to 2003.
Tory MP Oliver Heald held a majority of 9,138 at the 2005 General Election.
