Two Conservatives have been ordered to pay £68,000 in costs to Brent Council after losing the Barnhill by-election recount.
Stefan Voloseniuc and Kanta Mistry narrowly lost the by-election to Labour candidates on January 23 last year.

Mansoor Akram received 1,194 votes while Gaynor Lloyd won 1,152 against Ms Mistry s 1,082 and Mr Voloseniuc s 1,018.
The losing Conservatives believed that votes were incorrectly allocated and put in a petition to the High Court for a recount.
They claimed that on election night, they were not allowed a recount by the returning officer for Brent Council, Carolyn Downs, nor was their agent allowed to flick through bundles to check.
The complaint was brought over a by-election count in January 2020 (Inset: Google Maps) Calls for an investigation into a narrow Brent Council by-election victory by the defeated candidates were dismissed by the High Court. The court ruled the results for the Barnhill by-election, held in January 2020, were correct following a recount. The initial vote saw Labour candidates Gaynor Lloyd and Mansoor Akram narrowly elected in front of their Conservative counterparts Kanta Mistry and Stefan Voloseniuc. Ms Mistry and Mr Voloseniuc alleged 100 votes for them had been placed in the Labour pile and, had this been rectified, they would have been elected instead.
