Former landlord sent old list
A candidate who withdrew from the upcoming Douglas East by-election says he fully accepts an apology from the General Registry.
John Hanson was hoping to contest the seat left vacant by Brenda Cannell.
But he was sent an old electoral list in the nomination process by error - meaning he failed to gain enough valid signatures before the deadline.
Mr Hanson says he's not angry at the blunder - and thinks restarting the whole process would prove far too costly for the taxpayer:
Meningitis B vaccination scheme to be rolled out on-Island
Balthane Roundabout plans on hold until 2027/28 as costs rise
Port St Mary lifeboat launched to rescue stricken fishing vessel
Enquiries ongoing after 'shotgun-like sound' heard near Police Headquarters
