Irvin Ward

Irvin Ward stood for election in the Emmerdale Ward of Hotten District Council against Eric Pollard and Val Lambert in May 2006. Irvin failed to turn up to the count at Hotten Town Hall where it was announced he'd won a seat on the council, beating Eric by twelve votes. The Returning Officer soon learned Irvin hadn't turned up as he'd died and subsequently a by-election was called.
