01st Oct 2024

Counting in the local government election wrapped up on Monday, with the nine councillors to represent Armidale Regional for the next four years now finalised.
Incumbent Mayor Sam Coupland and his team were the big winners, securing around 48% of the formal vote and with four places confirmed on the new council.
Todd Redwood, Paul Gaddes and Kay Endres all got over the line on the Group D ticket,
however Guyra local Jane
Mactier fell just short after the allocation of preferences and will not be part of council this term.
Also returning for another term will be Labor’s Susan McMichael, the Green’s Dorothy Robinson, and Brad Widders.
Newcomers Eli Imad and Rob Taber will round out the council.
The big loser at this election was Margaret O’Connor’s group F, who failed to secure a spot with a greatly reduced percentage of the vote compared to the previous .poll.
A total of 16,528 votes were cast in the election, with an informal rate of 5.64%.
Voters in the former Guyra Shire polling booths were largely divided between the Group C ticket led by Llangothlin based newcomer Eli Imad and Group D led by Sam Coupland.
Mr Coupland is expected to throw his hat back into the ring as Mayor.
