Urgent Election news
It is with regret that we have been informed that John Boakes, the
candidate for the UK Independence party has died. The
effect of the death of a candidate on the forthcoming UK
Parliamentary Election is that the election in the Thirsk and
Malton Constituency must be stopped and re-run. The revised
date will be 27 May 2010.
Any person who was
validly nominated for the first election, except the candidate who
has died, will remain validly nominated unless they withdraw by the
deadline. No new nominations are allowed for the re-run
election except that the party whose candidate has died may
nominate a candidate to replace them.
