Sarah Ferguson has been voted back into Jersey's States Assembly, following a narrow victory in the by-election.

Ferguson, who has been Senator before but suffered a narrow defeat in the 2014 election, took an early lead when results from the by-election were declared this evening.

She was beaten by Sam Mezec in St Saviour and Hugh Raymond in Trinity, but had a comfortable lead having topped polls in the other nine parishes.

However support from residents of St Helier, which Mezec currently serves as Deputy, made the final result a close one.

  • Sarah Ferguson - 3649
  • Sam Mézec - 3518
  • Christian May - 2018
  • John Young - 1240
