| A New Pathway to
Parliament |
|
|
|
| Below
is a list of the 135 persons who began their electoral career at the local
council level |
|
| and
then sought a seat in Parliament. Most were unsuccessful in that quest.
However, |
|
| the
importance of local council elections as a stepping stone to Parlimanent is
real: |
|
| In
the present (2008) legislature, 19 of its 69 members first competed in
council elections. |
|
|
| The
names are followed by the locality in which they competed in a council
election. |
|
|
| Note:
Bold-face numbers indicate that the person won a seat in Parliament that
year. |
