119 candidates in 2020 election

Saturday 05 September 2020


Voters will have a whopping 119 election candidates to choose from next month after 32 people were nominated on the final day.

The list of last-day additions includes just one serving Deputy, all 11 members of the Alliance Party and a swathe of new faces.

There are however some familiar political faces, including long-serving former States member Ivan Rihoy and current Home Affairs Vice-President Marc Leadbeater. 

Others including Ross Le Brun, Darren Duquemin, Lucia Faith and Simon De La Mare are trying again in the new island-wide system after standing unsuccessfully in 2016. 

The 11 Alliance Party members all put their nominations in on the final day, as did a host of independents including Catherine Hall from the Guernsey Disability Alliance and BBC Political Journalist Simon Fairclough. 

 Here is the full list of those nominated on the final day:
