Oaten withdraws from the Liberal Democrat Leadership

5.07.00pm GMT Thu 19th Jan 2006

Mark Oaten MP

Mark Oaten has this afternoon withdrawn from the Liberal Democrat Leadership contest. I am not surprised by this news as I had heard various rumours about this, I was actually quite surprised he found seven MPs to actually nominate him in the first place. Mark said the other contenders all "had much more support" among MPs.
