NLP NATIONAL SECRETARY ELECTED IN LONDON BOROUGH!
The National Liberal National Secretary (Cllr. David Durant) was elected to a borough council seat in Rainham in the London borough of Havering in May’s elections. David was standing under the banner of the Independent Local Residents (a member of the electoral coalition – The Peoples Alliance (PA)). Two other NLP members narrowly missed being elected in a neighbouring ward by 95 and 294 votes respectively.
The results were quite remarkable since the combined General & Local Elections meant there was a big turnout with a large ‘national’ vote going to the establishment parties resulting in big losses amongst independents and small parties. David worked hard for his victory and is a well respected political figure in Havering, Essex. The ILR group on the Council now effectively controls the Area Committee by winning four of the six seats (up from two). Well done to David and his team!
