Waverley Liberal Democrats Working hard all year round for Farnham, Godalming, Haslemere and our villages

Narrow Loss in Farnham Castle

Posted by Terence Weldon | Updated

So near - and yet so far! In the Farnham Castle by-election, our candidate Jo Aylwin came within just 16 votes of the winning Farnham residents' candidate - a strong improvement on our previous result. In the process, the Conservative Party, which was previously strong in the ward, was but a poor third. 

We congratulate Jo Aylwin on a stunning achievement, and the Farnham team on their hard work. We also thank the Godalming team for their assistance.

Election Candidate Party Votes %  
David Beaman Farnham Residents 354 37.9% Elected
Jo Aylwin Liberal Democrats 338 36.1% Not elected
Rashida Ahmad Nasir Conservative 175 18.7% Not elected
Rebecca Louise Kaye Labour 42 4.5% Not elected
Mark Edward Westcott Independent 26 2.8% Not elected
