Young Mayor Elections 2010
From now until the result is announced we will be talking about the Young Mayor Elections.
Editorial
This year we have the seventh Young Mayor for Lewisham elections and it's set to be another exciting couple of months of campaigning, debating and celebrating. This month's YCP Live Event will be a hustings event for the candidates to try and win your support for their campaigns.
Last year we had a record 53% turnout for one of the most closely run Young Mayor election campaigns to date. In the weeks leading up to the election there was fierce campaigning all over the borough with the fifteen candidates and their teams attending assemblies, making speeches, handing out flyers to people in the street and using videos and music to boost their chances of becoming the next Young Mayor of Lewisham.
The rest, as they say, is history and in a packed Council Chamber on Thursday 15th October 2009 Jacob Sakil was announced as the sixth Young Mayor of Lewisham. The atmosphere was incredible and everyone involved - councillors, candidates, teachers and workers - came out smiling. We're hoping that this year will be even better.
