12 stand for Alderney Election

Twelve candidates will contest Alderney's States election.

Five seats are up for grabs as half the island’s politicians face re-election every two years.

Sitting members Tony Llewellyn and Ian Tugby will stand in the November 27th poll but Richard Willmott and Colin Williams have decided not to seek re-election. The fifth member, Liz Bennett, quit the States in July and has left the island.

Former member Lin Maurice, who lost her seat in 2008, is seeking a return to island politics. Paul Arditti, Ray Berry, Matthew Birmingham Lois FitzGerald, Ray Gaudion, Ken Hampton, Victor Levine, Arthur Wheeler and Norma Williams are the other candidates.

Hustings will be held on November 23rd at the Island Hall. (from CTV)
