Charlotte Hodivala will stand for the Conservatives against Khalid Mahmud in Birmingham’s Perry Bar.

Perry Barr is seen to be one the safer Labour seats.

She says in her election publicity, "Perry Bar deserve an MP that will but Perry Barr first, one for whom this is home. Who works hard, will stand up for our community and represent us in Westminster.

"I am that person and am incredibly proud to have been selected by residents to stand in Perry Barr. Having grown up in Birmingham and chosen to raise my family here I, like you, want to ensure that we all enjoy a better future."
