Sharon Ebanks of the BNP was declared elected as BNP councillor for Kingstanding. As you will know, the Returning Officer has announced that the result was incorrect. However, it is likely to take several weeks before a court order can be issued to declare the correct result (which is the election of 2 Labour councillors).
The BNP have announced that they will take up the council seat in Kingstanding and will attempt to sign in as a councillor on Monday. The council's legal advice is that they have no powers to stop them doing so. We therefore face the prospect of having a BNP councillor sitting in the council chamber until the legal process is completed.
It is very important that we show our opposition to the BNP sitting in the council chamber - especially given the fact that they were not democratically elected.
Please make every effort to attend this protest, and circulate to all
your contacts.
