Andy Jehan elected Constable of St John

Mr Jehan put himself forward following the resignation of Constable Chris Taylor, who was ordered to stand down by the Royal Court after it deemed him ‘not fit for office’ following a dangerous-driving conviction and subsequent attempt to use parish funds to cover his legal fees.

Mr Jehan worked for Jersey Post for almost four decades and served as a Procureur du Bien Public of St John for eight years as well as being a member of the parish’s honorary police force.

He was elected on Wednesday evening after no one else came forward during a nominations meeting at the parish hall.

Speaking to the JEP moments after he was elected, Mr Jehan said: ‘It is incredible to be elected – it has always been an ambition of mine, but not in these circumstances.’

He will be sworn-in in the Royal Court in the coming weeks.
