Duncan John Hames[1] (born 16 June 1977) is a Director of Policy at Transparency International UK and a former Liberal Democrat politician.

In 2003 Hames joined the board of the South West of England Regional Development Agency and was the Lib Dem candidate for the Westbury constituency at the 2005 general election.

[4] In July 2006, shortly after the creation of a new Chippenham county constituency, Hames was selected as his party's first candidate for it,[4] and his success at the 2010 general election gave Wiltshire its first Liberal member of parliament in 86 years.

[5][6] Following his defeat at the 2015 general election, Hames chose not to stand for re-selection as the Liberal Democrat candidate in the Chippenham constituency.

Four months later, she lost her seat by 149 votes to Amy Callaghan of the SNP and consequently was disqualified from continuing as party leader.
