Jahdia Spencer Wins By-Election In UK

Bermudian Jahdia Spencer was elected Labour councillor for West Thamesmead in a by-election.

The Greenwich Wire reported, “Labour’s Jahdia Spencer won the West Thamesmead by-election – but little more than one in eight voters cast their ballots on the last Thursday before Christmas. Spencer won 464 votes – 45.1 per cent of the vote – while the housing campaigner Steve Day, standing as a Liberal Democrat candidate, took 336 votes [32.7 per cent].

“Every other candidate in the Greenwich Council poll got less than 100 votes, and the turnout was just 14.9 per cent. Reform UK’s Ruth Handyside was third with 92 votes [8.9 per cent], the Conservative Siama Gulnar Qadar had 82 votes [8 per cent], while the Green candidate Anji Petersen got 55 votes [5.3 per cent].
