Four people are challenging Ian Byrne for the Labour nomination for his Liverpool West Derby Parliamentary seat, the ECHO understands.
Yesterday Croxteth Councillor Anthony Lavelle confirmed he will be standing against Mr Byrne in the Labour selection process after making the party's long list.
The selection process has been triggered after local branches voted to hold a process that would allow others to challenge the incumbent Member of Parliament for the Labour nomination ahead of the next General Election.
