Candidates Announced For Harborough By-Election

Six political parties are fielding candidates in next month’s by-election in Market Harborough.

The Conservatives, Greens, Labour, Liberal Democrats, Reform UK and Social Democratic Party will contest the seat in the Logan Ward on December 18th.

The election for a place on Harborough District Council was triggered by the resignation of independent councillor Geraldine Whitmore earlier this month.

The candidates standing are:

Deborah Bennett – Labour Party

Jake  Bolton – Green Party

Marion Lewis – Liberal Democrat

David Page – The Conservative Party Candidate

Barry Walton – Reform UK

Robin Lambert – Social Democratic Party

It will be the second time this year residents in Logan ward will go to the polls.

The death of long-standing councillor Barbara Johnson led to a by-election in the ward’s other seat in July, which was won by Conservative Paul Bremner.
