Paul Swaddle, 44, will be the next President of the Conservative Party National Convention and will chair Conservative Conference to be held in Birmingham in October. Paul is a local councillor representing Maiden Erlegh ward on Wokingham Borough Council and is a Vice Chairman of Reading East Conservatives.
Reading East MP Rob Wilson congratulated Cllr Swaddle on the announcement and said “Paul is an incredibly talented campaigner and has worked tirelessly for the voluntary party both locally and nationally, for example he played a pivotal role in winning both Reading seats from Labour. His election to one of the highest positions in the Conservative Party is recognition of his long service and talent."
