Description Woodward was the incumbent MP from Witney.

Murphy resigned from the Labour Party at the start of the campaign in order to oppose Woodward, who he regarded as having been imposed on the constituency as Labour Party candidate.

Braid campaigned for a return to Christian morality, and for the retention of Section 28 of the Local Government Act 1988 which prevented local authorities promoting homosexuality as a pretended family relationship. Woodward had joined the Labour Party in 1999 as a result of his opposition to this section.
