Some attribute Labour’s loss in North Evington to its candidate’s apparent support for India’s ruling BJP party
A Leicester council byelection resulted in a huge swing towards the Conservatives, as they took the seat from Labour who were knocked into third place in an area gripped by civil unrest last month.
The Conservatives took 49.6% of the vote in North Evington, with a 32.7-point swing in their favour, while Labour received just 22.5% of votes.
