The Greens will end the campaign with a focus on the “fringes”, including Bristol and Brighton

Green campaigners will turn their attention to four “tight marginals” in the final day before the polls open for the general election.

According to co-leader Carla Denyer, her party hopes to return to four MPs after Thursday’s vote – from just one seat previously – in a bid to encourage “an incoming Labor government to be bolder and braver”.

Labor leader Sir Keir Starmer is set to become prime minister by the end of this week, with polls putting Labor about 19 points ahead of the Tories.

The Green Party has named four seats it will target on Wednesday, including Bristol Central, which Ms Denyer is contesting, and Brighton Pavilion, where Sian Berry hopes to replace her party colleague Caroline Lucas, who has represented the coastal constituency since 2010 .

Co-leader Adrian Ramsay is contesting Waveney Valley, another seat on the target list, which straddles the Norfolk/Suffolk border, with Ellie Chowns contesting North Herefordshire.

Ms Denyer said: “Our aim is to win at least four Green MPs and (we) are one step away from doing just that.

“I have brought real hope to this campaign, the hope that a group of Green MPs can bring by pushing an incoming Labor government to be bolder and braver in delivering the real change our country needs.

“We have overcome the conspiracy of silence from the other parties around the need to invest in the NHS and our public services, and voters are responding.

“I made the strongest case of all the parties for the massive investment needed in the NHS and social care, paid for by a fairer tax system that asks multi-millionaires and billionaires to pay a little more.”

Mr Ramsay said: “We have been to a record number of constituencies in England and Wales.

“This is because we want to give everyone the chance to vote Green so they can send the clearest possible message to the next government that we need real change to tackle the climate crisis, restore nature and end the cost of living crisis for millions of people.”

He added: “More Green MPs – and every vote cast for a Green candidate tomorrow – tells the new government to be more ambitious and deliver what our country really needs to repair the damage of this reckless Tory government.

“We need a group of Green MPs in Parliament to push to restore public services and protect our environment.”

The Green Party had recent electoral success in the 2024 Bristol local elections, where the party secured 34 of the 70 seats up for grabs – up from 24 before the May poll.

In Bristol Central, Ms Denyer faces Labour’s culture secretary Thangam Debbonaire, Reform Britain’s Robert Clarke, the Liberal Democrats’ Nicholas Coombes, the Women’s Party’s Kellie-Jay Keen and the Tories’ Samuel Williams.

Green campaigners also had electoral success in Mid Suffolk, which includes the town of Eye in the Waveney Valley constituency, where they won their first overall majority on a UK council last year, securing 24 out of 34 seats – up from 12.

Mr Ramsay faces competition from Reform UK’s Scott Huggins, Labour’s Gurpreet Padda, the Conservatives’ Richard Rout, the Social Democratic Party’s (SDP) Maya Severyn and the Liberal Democrats’ John Shreeve.

But the party suffered losses in Brighton and Hove in 2023, securing just seven city council seats, having previously run the authority as a minority administration.

Ms Lucas’s Brighton Pavilion majority was 19,940 in 2019. Ms Berry is up against independent Steve Al, the SDP’s Carl Buckfield, Gomez bandmate and Labor candidate Tom Gray, Reform Britain’s Mark Mulvihill, the Liberal’s Ashley Ridley -Democrats, Citizen Skwith Monster Raving Loony Party and Sarah Webster of the Conservatives.
