UNOPPOSED ANNUAL ELECTION – ‘THE KNIGHT’ RETURNS
Four councillors had been nominated for ‘retirement’, these being; Smith, Stringer, Murdock and Weetman. However, Joseph Murdock was leaving Kenilworth and Mr Smith did not want to offer himself for re-election.
But with only the two vacancies to fill it was considered by both Parties that an election might be avoided if each party selected a candidate to fill the two seats. This resulted in Herbert and Knight being co-opted. It was also agreed that present members, Weetman and Stringer would be elected unopposed. This agreement would not alter the political make-up of the council and with the triennial elections returning next year they decided this was a convenient arrangement for this year.
Richard Knight was first elected at the inaugural KUDC election in 1894, being one of the ‘Liberal/Separatist Eight’ but on seeking re-election in 1897 he lost his seat. Alfred Herbert is new to the council.
