Green Party Candidate Rick Wilson Elected, Rutland County Council By-Election RYHALL AND CASTERTON WARD

Richard Peter Wilson, Known as Rick Wilson has been elected as a Green Party Candidate

It was a close vote, 281 votes.

Richard Foster, The Conservative Party Candidate, 268 votes. The former Conservative County Councillor can now enjoy his retirement. 

The number of ballot papers rejected was 2 for being unmarked or wholly void for uncertainty.

The Liberal Democrats could not be bothered to stand a candidate, despite flooding other wards with leaflets, claiming they have achieved so much with their current small team.

Labour also failed to stand anyone despite winning the last by-election.

Another good result for Progressives in #Rutland ‼️

👍❤️💚😉

Whilst the Conservatives hold the majority nothing can be changed here in Rutland. I hope at the next full council election these very weak parties can put up some candidates to give Rutland voters a choice. Unlike the last elections when the many Conservatives are elected unopposed.

Politics here in Rutland is rubbish.
