Liberal Democrat Steve Delaney has been re-elected to Aberdeen City Council to represent the Kingswells, Sheddocksley, Summerhill ward. Steve was elected at Stage 1, heading up the poll with 1778 first preferences.
Steve said, “I am delighted to have been re-elected to serve a third term as a councillor for our area. First of all I would like to thank the Returning Officer and his staff. I would also like to thank Aberdeen Donside Liberal Democrats, my election agent, Peter Heald and my wife Eileen for all their support and their hard work. Thanks also to the ‘army’ of local supporters who helped deliver this result. Last but not least thanks to all 1778 people who have put their trust in me.
“I’m looking forward to a quiet weekend, then it’s back to work again on Monday looking after the interests of our area and getting on with the job. I’m delighted to be back and I offer my thanks once more to all who supported me in the recent election.
“I dedicate this victory to my friend John Stewart, who took me to my first electoral success in 2002 and sadly passed away just a few weeks ago. Also to another good friend Neil Berry who delivered thousands of Focuses over 19 years and died suddenly last year”.
