Jersey Election 2022: Who missed out?

Jersey's Election brought drama and disappointment as the people of the island delivered a damning verdict on the last government. The Chief Minister, along with seven other top table politicians were ousted and the Jersey Alliance, which featured a number of sitting ministers, returned just one candidate. As results came through, it was clear voters wanted change.


John Le Fondré

Jersey's outgoing Chief Minister, John Le Fondré, was ousted after coming 6th in the poll in St John, St Lawrence and Trinity.

He was elected as Chief Minister in 2018 and led the island's response to the Covid-19 pandemic.
