Graeme Jenkins, who is currently unemployed, announced his intention to stand yesterday. Two other people, Deputy Geoff Southern and St Helier businessman Gino Risoli, have already said that they will contest the election on Wednesday 16 June.

No ruling has yet been made with regard to whether former Senator Syvret can stand in the by-election.

Mr Jenkins, of Val Plaisant, has worked as a financial adviser, a salesman for Stanley Gibbons stamps and an architect’s assistant.
