Victory to Viki!

by admin on 14 November, 2014

By-election-Count-for-webViki Sanders was elected as the new councillor for Queen Edith’s last night, joining Tim Moore and George Pippas on Cambridge City Council. As county councillor I am looking forward to working with her again.

Here is the result:

Lib Dem (Viki Sanders) 933
Labour (Rahima Ahammed) 790
Conservative (Andy Bower) 614
Green (Joel Chalfen) 222

Lib Dem majority 143

Here is a video of the declaration at the Guildhall, produced by local blogger and digital media guru Antony Carpen:

As this was a by-election to replace resigning Labour councillor Sue Birtles, Viki’s term of office lasts until May 2016.

Thank you all very much for your support in what was a very hard-fought election, and hats off to all the parties for a stimulating campaign.
