Election History
CompetitiveScore: 63/100→ Stable
Won by 189 votes (10.9%)5.5% swing needed to unseat
The councillor holds a relatively modest majority of 189 votes (10.92%), requiring a swing of just 5.46% to lose the seat—a figure amplified by the low 31.53% turnout. The presence of five candidates in 2025 suggests the vote is fragmented, but the stable margin from the previous election indicates limited recent movement in the division's electoral landscape. With a vulnerability score of 63 out of 100, the seat is classified as competitive, meaning the incumbent is not secure against a concentrated opposition challenge.
