John Joughin has been forced to relinquish his position
A Douglas councillor and former deputy mayor has been forced to relinquish his position.
It’s after it emerged John Joughin, a councillor since April 2012, was no longer on the voters list.
Changes earlier this year meant people had to register to be on the list rather than their name be automatically retained.
It meant there were around 2,000 fewer voters registered in time for May’s House of Keys by-elections.
South Douglas MHK Bill Malarkey says forcing Mr Joughin to stand down is farcical:
John Wannenburgh: 'Commitment, compassion and an unwavering sense of duty'
Manx Utilities 'deeply saddened' by death of chairman
"Tynwald will be a less colourful place without John" says president
Douglas North MHK pays tribute to 'amazing friend'
