Worthing Green Party Candidate Sonya Mallin received more than 3,000 votes in Worthing West in the 4 July 2024 General Election, the largest number of votes ever received by a Green Party Candidate in the constituency. Sonya’s campaign increased the number of votes from the 2019 election by 63%. Since then, Worthing Greens have also won two seats on the local council.
Sonya said, “For me, it’s about knowing I’m doing all I can to push for better climate action, better children’s mental health, better funding for education, a better FREE NHS and a better future for us all. Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign and entrusted me with their vote .”
“There’s no question that Greens are continuing to grow in Worthing!”
The gains in Worthing come alongside a massive historic win for Greens across the country, winning four seats in Parliament – Brighton Pavilion, Bristol Central, Waveney Valley and North Herefordshire.
Worthing Green Party Chair, Jo Paul, says, “We are thrilled to report that Sonya secured over 5% of the vote (6.4% to be precise!), which means we are able to keep our £500 deposit. We can reinvest that money into our local campaigns (a third Green councillor in 2025!) and build on the growth that we have seen in the last several years.”
