The Barking and Dagenham (North London) Parliamentary Constituency will be the battle ground for the British National Party leader Nick Griffin (MEP) during the 2010 General Election.

Currently the parliamentary seat is held by Labour Margaret Hodge, but in the 2006 council elections the BNP gained 12 of the 51 council seats, making the BNP the party with the second highest number of councilors (Labour have 38).

The BNP hope this will be one of their break through parliamentary constituencies (currently the BNP have no MPs) and will be targeting this seat in the coming months.
