Liverpools Aigburth Ward Holds By-Election: Six Candidates Vie for Liberal Democrat Seat

Voters in Liverpools Aigburth ward are casting their ballots today in a by-election to fill the seat left vacant by Liberal Democrat Dave Antrobus, who stepped down due to health reasons. Antrobus, a long-time local politician, won the seat in 1996 and secured over 50% of the vote in the 2023 elections with a 42% turnout.

Six candidates are in the running, including Liberal Democrat Dave Thomas, Labours Jim Davies, and Reforms Harry Gallimore-King, who previously switched parties. The Conservatives have Chris Hall running, marking their first push since losing all seats in 1998, while the Greens have Paul Ruddick and independent Craig Carden rounding out the field.

Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m., and voters must present photo ID to cast their ballots. This by-election comes just months after the last major redistricting in the ward.
