DL — deposit lost: the candidate polled under one-sixth of valid votes and forfeits their election deposit under RPA 1951 s.158.

Affidavit details — declared assets, criminal cases and education — aren't available for this seat yet. The results above are complete; only the candidate-affidavit layer is missing.

Low turnout (202nd), a typical margin, an essentially two-way race.
