Issy Patience | Green Party | 1,414 |
Matt Schriebke | Green Party | 958 |
Stephanie Wyatt | Green Party | 885 |
Others | Liberal Democrats and Conservatives | 81-140 |
The result means that Aftab is re-elected for a term of four years, Mary for two years and Angeliki for one year respectively. After the decalaration, Aftab thanked the staff for the conduct of the election and the count, and said “I also especially thank the people of Whalley Range for putting their faith in their Labour team once again. We promise we will repay them by continuing to work hard for everyone in the area”.
