Patrick by-election candidate Kevin Oliphant-Smith says his knowledge of House of Keys elections is ‘good experience’ for being a commissioner.
He has previously stood for Douglas Council, and was elected to the council in 2016, and also stood for Keys twice.
A by-election for a new commissioner in Patrick is being held on Thursday, 15 June – residents can vote from 8am to 8pm at their allocated polling station.
He says if elected he would try and shine a ‘spotlight’ on issues facing the parish.
