Remarkably the Barnhill election has been subjected to an election petition. This is an extremely unusual proceeding. The last time it happened in Brent was in 2006 in following a result in Dudden Hill where an employee of the Council was elected as a councillor (representing the Liberal Democrats).
The Barnhill case is brought by the losing Conservative candidates. It alleges a miscounting of the votes, but does not say whether they mentioned this to the Returning Officer or examined the ballot papers, as they had a right to do.
