| Description | The Conservative candidate for South Thanet has been charged with allegedly overspending in the 2015 General Election campaign.
Craig Mackinlay, who is running again on 8 June, stands accused under the Representation of the People Act 1983, alongside his election agent Nathan Gray and party activist Marion Little.
He said he had done nothing wrong and questioned the timing of the decision.
Other Tory candidates were investigated but no charges were brought.
Prime Minister Theresa May said: "The Conservative Party continues to believe that these allegations are unfounded.
"Craig Mackinlay is innocent until proven guilty and he remains our candidate." |
