Husband of late Penllergaer councillor wins landslide victory for council seat

Tony, the husband of the late Cllr Wendy Fitzgerald who held the Penllergaer seat for almost 21 years, has won a landslide victory for his late wife’s council seat with 646 votes – over four times the number of votes of any other candidate.

Howard Evans for the Welsh Liberal Democrats came in second place with 138 votes. Gareth Turner for Reform UK came third with 108 votes.

Marsha Phillips for Welsh Labour came a distant fourth with just 67 votes.

Other mainstream parties faired even worse, with Jake Harry for the Welsh Conservatives on 38 votes and Plaid Cymru taking just 18 votes.

Tony’s late wife Wendy was a hugely popular, respected, long-serving independent councillor, and was Deputy Lord Mayor when she died in January following a short illness.
