Press Statement re Ofcom Chair Announcement

This week the Labour government has announced its preferred candidate to be the next Chair of Ofcom, the UK’s regulator for communications services  This follows widespread reports in recent weeks in national media that Kenilworth & Southam MP Sir Jeremy Wright was one of the three possibilities for the role, but he has not been chosen. At no stage had the possibility been denied by the MP.  

In response to the announcement, local Liberal Democrat prospective parliamentary candidate Cllr Louis Adam has said that he’d always put the needs of constituents before his own personal career ambitions. 

Cllr Adam has been a district and parish councillor in the Kenilworth & Southam constituency since 2019. He lives with his wife, daughter and two dogs called Jessie and Sybil in Long Itchington and currently serves as the Project & Communications Portfolio Holder at Stratford District Council. Louis works as a structural engineer and is a graduate of Coventry University. He was selected as the prospective parliamentary candidate for Kenilworth & Southam in 2025.

‘Everyone can see that politics is changing,’ said Cllr Adam ‘so, more than ever, residents in the constituency need an MP who is fully focussed on serving the needs of their community and not on whatever, as MP, their next career move might be. I’ll continue to be out and about meeting people from right across the Kenilworth & Southam constituency to share with them the benefits of having a strong local MP who’ll stand up for their needs.’
