The polls have closed, the votes have been counted and Islington Labour will be welcoming five new councillors into our Labour Group.

Following the hard work and dedication shown by Labour members across our borough, Islington Labour won all five by-election seats up for grabs yesterday (Thursday 6th May), retaining the majority on the Council and ensuring all five wards will have Labour councillors standing up for them.

These elections have shown that local people want a fairer Islington, a cleaner, greener, safer borough and a Council that listens to them and stands up for  their values.

Kaya Comer-Schwartz, Leader of the Labour Group, has welcomed the news and said:

“I would like to thank every Labour member who worked so hard to deliver these results. In a strange series of elections, we have delivered five new councillors and that is something to be proud of.

 

“I am delighted to welcome all five of our new councillors into the Labour Group at the Council and excited to work with every one of them as community champions to stand up for people across Islington.

 

“Representation matters and that’s why I am so proud that we have increased the diversity in our Labour Group. Islington is a wonderful, diverse place and as a Council, we are determined to make it a fairer place for all.”
