The Labour Party has announced that it has selected two female nominees for the shortlist for the Batley and Spen by-election caused by the untimely death of Jo Cox.
Ex-Soap Star Tracy Brabin was shortlisted along with Jane Thomas.
Ms Thomas was the Labour candidate in the Keighley constituency that lost out to the Conservative candidate Kris Hopkins at the 2010 election.
The party's candidate is to be chosen from the shortlist at a hustings event on Friday, with the by-election to be held on 20 October.
The Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and UKIP have all said they will not be fielding a candidate in the by-election out of respect for the beloved MP Jo Cox.
Liberty GB and the English Democrats have previously stated however they will be contesting the seat.
