Election of the Chief Minister

On May 25, 2018, in General, States Reform, Voting, by Lyndon-Farnham

I have released a short statement in relation to my current position.

Thanks to all whom have supported me to this stage and best of luck to Senators Ian Gorst and John Le Fondré

“After having spoken with States members over the last few days it is clear that the majority of support is lying with Senator Gorst and Senator elect Le Fondré for the role of Chief Minister. With that in mind, and after careful consideration, I have decided not to put my name forward.

“Whilst I am disappointed I am also realistic in my expectations and now believe that it is in the Assembly’s best interests to have a straight forward contest between the remaining two candidates.

“I look forward to a robust election process and wish both Senators well with their endeavours for high office.”

Senator Lyndon Farnham.

The next Chief Minister will be chosen on 4th June.
