Popular and energetic Lib Dem MP, Lembit Opik, flew in to visit North Bedfordshire Lib Dems on Friday 4 February. He was guest speaker at the Annual Dinner. He also joined Michael Headley and local Lib Dems campaigning on Friday afternoon.
Lembit Opik MP said "I am very happy to have been able to work with Michael Headley and the local Liberal Democrats. We have been leading the challenge against Labour here and will offer the people of Bedford & Kempston the opportunity for a positive change in the upcoming General Election."
Bedford & Kempston Parliamentary Campaigner Michael Headley said "We are very pleased that Lembit joined us. He is one of the party's top campaigners and is very popular with residents."
"Lembit's visit is a boost to our campaign in Bedford and Kempston. This follows Charles Kennedy's visit to us last year. Liberal Democrats are the key challengers to Labour here, having topped the poll in elections in 2003 and 2004, with the Tories trailing in as the last of the main parties. We are looking forward to the election campaign when we will be challenging to win this seat."
Lembit Opik is MP for Montgomeryshire. He is a keen pilot and acted as co-pilot as he flew in from Wales to to Little Staughton airfield on Friday.
