General Election 2017 | Constituency profile: Thanet South

In the 2015 election the battle for Thanet South in Kent was one of the most fierce.

UKIP leader Nigel Farage was hoping to make it seventh time lucky in his bid to get a Westminster seat.

Also standing, the comedian Al Murray known as the pub landlord. In the end the Conservative's triumphed with a new Candidate Craig Mackinlay.

Last week he was charged with overspending during that campaign. He says he's done nothing wrong.

The constituency has almost 71,000 voters. In the last election almost 70% went to the polls.

Around 7,000 people are aged 18 to 24. In 2015, 43% turned out to vote.

21% of the population - almost 15,000 - are over 65. 78% of them voted last time.

Thanet, itself, voted to LEAVE in the EU Referendum. Here's Sarah Saunders.

There are seven candidates standing in the Thanet South constituency:

• Raushan Ara, Labour
