BNP lose their seat in Birmingham

3.46.46pm BST (GMT +0100) Thu 27th Jul 2006

The High Court has announced the result of the recount in the Kingstanding ward from May's local elections. The BNP candidate had been wrongly announced as elected, as a result of this court action she has lost her seat and Labour have been awarded it in her place.

The Returning Officer had declared a wrong result, but under Election Law only the High Court could reverse the announcement.

Another BNP Councillor - David Enderby, in Redditch, has been charged with three counts of assault occasioning actual bodily harm. His case has been adjourned until 1 September.
