ALDC by-election report 25th August

By | Fri 26th August 2022 - 9:11 pm

There is just one by-election result to report this week – but what a result!

East Riding Lib Dems scored yet another stunning by-election victory – their 3rd by-election gain in 5 months – as Diana Stewart took the Conservative seat of Beverley Rural with 59.4% of the vote. That’s a 36% increase in vote-share and a thumping majority of 832!

Congratulations to newly elected Cllr Diana Stewart and the Lib Dem team in the East Riding on another amazing win – a hattrick of by-election gains after winning Bridlington North in June, and South Hunsley in April.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Beverley Rural ward
Liberal Democrat (Diana Stewart): 1948 [59.4%, +36%]
Conservative: 1116 [34.1%, -10.5%]
Labour: 213 [6.5%, -5.2%]

The full result can be found on the ALDC by-elections page here.
