Fisher wins Dartmouth byelection

Posted Sat, Sep 19, 2009 at 9:42 PM

Darren Fisher has won election to the East Dartmouth council seat vacated by Andrew Younger.

Fisher's victory, in a field of seven, was convincing: he received 1,994 votes, while the next closest challenger, Brian Warshick, who had previously held the seat, received just 856. See the complete election results here.

Survey Asks

Do you agree with Halifax's school board cutting 152 teachers?

  • Yes, the board needs to meet its shrinking budget.
  • Only if managers and bureaucracy get a similar cut.
  • I don't care, I support the private education system.
  • No, giving young citizens the best education is too important to cut.

Dartmouth just lost the chance at a great counsellor... Phil Brown would have done so much for Dartmouth, and not just for himself like Andrew Younger

.....and there I was predicting an easy victory for the NDP candidate Mr Brown.
What happened ??
Time for me to eat crow.
I don't live in the district but I know plenty of people who received the recorded message from Mr Fisher for the past week.
