Labour council candidate pleads guilty to electoral fraud

The Birmingham Mail reports:

Gurcharan Bedi appeared before Birmingham Crown Court and pleaded guilty to making a false statement on a nomination paper on March 28 last year relating to a bogus address.

The 58-year-old of Henwood Road, Wolverhampton, also admitted supplying false information on February 29.

Bedi withdrew as Labour’s candidate in Spring Vale ahead of Wolverhampton City Council elections in May after it was revealed he did not live in Hilton Road, as his official nomination papers said.
