Karen La Borde
Election History
Councillor Karen La Borde was re‑elected with 451 votes, a majority of 68 votes (5.23%) over the Reform UK candidate, and would need a swing of roughly 2.62 % of the electorate to lose the seat. This represents a 5.5‑percentage‑point narrowing of the margin compared with the 2021 election, where the Green share fell from 9.3 % to 3.9 % across Cornwall. The low turnout of 7.76 % and a vulnerability score of 83 / 100 indicate a relatively high risk of losing the division in the next contest.
