Full Principle By-election results - 21 July 2016
From one week of fantastic by-election results to another, with a Liberal Democrat gain in the Northampton Council, where the local Westone team increased the Lib Dem vote share by 36.4% to get our candidate Brian Markham elected. Councillor Markham received 49.7% of the vote, compared to the Conservatives' 27.2% and Labour's 23.0%. The local team ran a fantastic campaign to "Bring Back Brian" to the area, as Brian first won the seat at another by-election in 1993 and represented the area for 18 years. Team Lib Dem engaged many of their new members in Westone as part of the campaign, with Brian saying that "we have had quite a few new members recently and it's been great to be able to get them involved and see their enthusiasm".
