A defeated candidate in Rushen at the general election is now calling for a full-scale recount.
Simon Williams has taken to social media to make the demand, just days after a court-ordered recount of the voting in Onchan.
At that recount, following a court petition from former MHK Julie Edge, there was no difference to the overall result, but there were changes in the number of votes to each candidate.
Williams, who finished third in Rushen, said: “I was 80 votes behind Mr (Mark) Kemp. I believe Mr Kemp himself would agree with me that there should be a recount in Rushen.”
He pointed out that prior to the election, Kemp raised concerns about the postal ballot.
He said Kemp and all other MHKs “must demand that there is a recount in all 12 constituencies”, before adding that his main point was the need for a recount in Rushen.
