Gerry Loftus has confirmed that he will run as an Independent candidate in the upcoming Local Elections in June.
The leader of the Rural Ireland Ogranisation will stand in the Castlebar Local Electoral Area, with the elections to take place on June 7.
Mr. Loftus has stated that he has been approached by a number of Political Parties to go on their ticket but has turned offers down.
He believes this would ‘interfere with the workings of the Rural Ireland Organisation’ which he intends to continue to develop.
