Lib Dems to choose by-election candidate

LIBERAL Democrats in Gateshead are to conduct an all-member postal ballot for the selection of a candidate to fight the by-election due shortly in Dunston and Teams ward. A hustings meeting will be held on 23rd August and the ballot will close immediately afterwards. Members will be able to vote by post or at the hustings meeting.

The by-election, caused by the resignation of Labour's Patrick Rice, just 10 weeks after being re-elected, is expected to be held in September.
