A fifth candidate has been nominated for election to the Isle of Man's Legislative Council.

Craig Brown was nominated by Treasury Minister David Ashford.

Two Legislative Council seats became vacant after former members, Kate Lord Brennan and Jane Poole-Wilson were elected to the House of Keys in the General Election.

Former MHK Bill Shimmins, Paul Craine, Corelli Bentham and Diane Kelsey have also been nominated.

All LegCo nominations have to be in by November 4 and the election will then take place on November 23.
