UKIP Constitution on By-election Candidate Selection

Paragraph 17.4 of the Constitution sets out the procedure as follows:-

The selection from the list of approved candidates of a prospective parliamentary candidate to contest a constituency in a general election is the perogative of the constituency association concerned. In the case of a by election such selection will be subject to consultation and agreement with the NEC.

Rumours were circulating earlier that the NEC had absolute control over candidate selection, this is clearly not the case. The means and selection of the candidate rests with the constituency association, which in Hartlepool leaves the matter in the hands of Eric Wilson and his members. Once they have made their choice it is then for the NEC to agree or not. One presumes the consultation between the constituency Chairman and the NEC's individual members is proceeding - is it not about time something further was forthcoming? Perhaps at least an acknowledgement of my application?
