Local businessman Peter Jackson will stand for the Lib Dems in the election, which will take place no later than January 2025.
Mr Jackson is the leader of the Lib Dems on Lancaster City Council, having been elected to the Lower Lune Valley ward in May. He is also cabinet member for Communities, Well-Being and Partnerships.
“I hope that the many voters who have trusted us to represent them in local government will support me to be their Member of Parliament," said Mr Jackson.
"The two-party system does not serve our country well, this is Morecambe and Lunesdale’s opportunity to send that message.”
