Rishi Sunak has said that he does not take winning his seat “for granted” but vows to stay on in Richmond if he loses the general election.

In an exclusive interview with The Yorkshire Post, the Prime Minister said that his time being a local MP has been the “most rewarding thing” he has ever done and will continue in the job regardless of the result. It comes after a second MRP poll suggested that Mr Sunak could be on course to lose his seat in Richmond and Northallerton, with Electoral Calculus joining Survation in projecting a win for Labour in the North Yorkshire constituency.

On Thursday, the party said the Prime Minister’s wife, Akshata Murty, joined canvassers in the seat, in addition to Lord Cameron making a visit to York Outer, with Mr Sunak telling The Yorkshire Post that he would be out campaigning in the seat on Friday.
