Tory Party selects former Camden councillor Ewan Cameron for Starmer's seat

Ewan Cameron, who served as a Camden councillor from 1998 to 2002, will be a candidate in the upcoming by‑election scheduled for 8 October. The election is being held to fill a vacancy that arose following the resignation of the sitting councillor, and Cameron’s return to the council marks a notable re‑entry into local politics after a fourteen‑year hiatus.

Cameron, who was originally elected as a member of the local council during the late 1990s, has announced his candidacy in a bid to regain a seat on the Camden Borough Council. The by‑election will see several parties fielding candidates, with voters in the affected ward expected to decide the new representative for the remainder of the council term. The election is part of the council’s routine schedule to maintain full representation following unexpected vacancies.

The outcome of the by‑election will determine whether Cameron can resume his role in council deliberations and influence local policy. Residents of the ward will have the opportunity to vote on 8 October, and the result will be announced shortly thereafter.
