Elections

While technically in Brent North the elections for local councillors for the Preston and Fryent wards of Brent still need reporting - and where better then here? Brent Councils Local Democracy pages have lots of information on the elections which will take place on the 16th June 2005. Shahrar Ali will be standing in the Preston Ward as the Green Party Candidate. The Greens didn’t have a candidate in Brent North at the last election so it will be interesting to see how Shahrar and the Greens do in Preston - a gague of Green support in Brent North if you will....

The by-election of 2003 was caused by the death of the member of Parliament for Brent East, Paul Daisley of the Labour Party. The by-election to fill his seat was held on September 13, and was won by the Liberal Democrat candidate Sarah Teather. The turnout by electors at this election was 36.42% More information on the 2003 Brent East by-election from wikipedia.
