Andrew Bowden

Andrew Bowden

Sir Andrew Bowden (born 8 April 1930), is a British Conservative politician.

Bowden was educated at Ardingly College and subsequently became a sales executive. He served as a councillor on Wandsworth Borough Council 1956-61 and national chairman of Young Conservatives 1960-61.

He entered the House of Commons on his third attempt in 1970 by gaining the Brighton Kemptown seat from Labour. He remained Member of Parliament (MP) for the seat until his defeat by Labour's Desmond Turner in the 1997 election.

He was a member of the Council of Europe from 1987-1997.

In recent years he has become something of a regular on the poker circuit, once being ranked as high as 72nd in Europe
