82 candidates to contest Guernsey’s June 2025 election

A trickle of candidates on the final day of nominations means that 82 deputy hopefuls will fight for the 38 seats in the States Assembly.

Among those contesting Guernsey’s June election are 30 sitting deputies.

Of those, a significant number are former committee presidents or senior figures in the Assembly.

These include Peter Ferbrache, Jonathan Le Tocq and Mark Helyar from Policy and Resources, Education’s Andrea Dudley-Owen, Home’s Rob Prow, Planning’s Victoria Oliver, and Environment and Infrastructure’s Lindsay de Sausmarez. Also in the race for re-election are Environment and Infrastructure's Neil Inder and Charles Parkinson.

SACC president Carl Meerveld, Scrutiny’s Yvonne Burford and the head of the Overseas Aid Commission Chris Blin are pinning their hopes on a further term in island politics.

Among those not standing are the veteran politicians Peter Roffey and Lyndon Trott, who confirmed well ahead of time that they would not contest this election.

There is only one political party in the June 25 election, Gavin St Pier’s Forward Guernsey. They have six candidates, but he is the only one with political experience.

The former Mother of House, Mary Lowe, has entered the election fray after losing out in October 2020, the date of the last election and the first with an island wide mandate.

Also bidding to make a return to politics is Paul Luxon, who formerly headed up the health department before returning to business life.

Andrew Le Lievre has held a senior States role and is seeking re-election, as is hotelier David Nussbaumer, who left local politics 25 years ago. Marc Laine was also a deputy following the 1997 election and is standing again.

It is interesting to look at some local ‘names’ who have proposed or seconded candidates.

Among these are a former Bailiff, Sir de Vic Carey, Heidi Soulsby, Charles Parkinson, Michelle le Clerc, Peter Harwood, Dame Mary Perkins, Al Brouard, Richard Heaume and Paul le Pelley.

Election day is 18 June, with the count beginning on 19 June. Postal voting and weekend voting ahead of polling day are being provided as options.
