Two Haringey Council by-elections will be held on 25 June after two seats became vacant shortly after this month’s local elections.
Voters in Northumberland Park and Woodside will each elect one councillor. The first vacancy followed confirmation that winning Green candidate Jayon Henriques was not eligible to take his seat, while the second came after Labour’s Hasret Bozdogan declined to take up her Woodside seat for personal reasons that arose after polling day.
The contests could be politically significant because no party has an outright majority on Haringey Council. In Woodside, Bozdogan had beaten the nearest Green candidate by just three votes, raising the possibility of another close contest.
