The candidate narrowly lost out joining the House of Keys
The leader of Liberal Vannin has praised the campaign of party candidate Michael Josem, who came within six votes of joining the House of Keys.
He lost out in the Douglas South by-election to Paul Quine, whilst Claire Christian topped the poll by a considerable margin.
LibVan leader, and the party's sole MHK Lawrie Hooper says Josem did well considering he's a new face in Manx politics:
