Deputy council leader Arooj Shah addresses full council
Following Oldham’s dramatic election shock in the early hours – which saw council leader Sean Fielding lose his seat – the question of his successor looms large.
Mr Fielding lost his seat in Failsworth West, which he had held since 2012 by 191 votes to Mark Wilkinson, a candidate from new hyper-local group Failsworth Independent Party.
He used to work for Greater Manchester Police.
During the night, early confidence for a Labour result fell away once the verification of voting got fully underway.
By 3am, the result was almost a foregone conclusion despite it yet to be announced by officials.
