A well-known businessman and Chairman of the Manx Grand Prix Riders' Association has declared his intention to stand in East Douglas in September's General Election.
Company Director John McBride was born and raised in the constituency and continues to live there.
Mr McBride, who is single, has spent his life working in the motor industry, graduating to the position of General Manager both on the Island and in the south of England.
