Which party was the previous councillor from RH?
Would be interesting to find out if this was a gain or a hold for the SNP, and the previous round's polling figures. |

Quite impressive given Elgin has tended to be the pro-Labour part of Moray. | ||

Think the last councillor was an Independent.
There was a 6% swing from Labour to SNP. Here is the article http://www.northern-scot.co.uk/ne...11/SNP_win_Elgin_by-election.html |
