The new look States of Guernsey will feature 18 deputies from the current term, three former deputies, and 17 newcomers.

Together with the two States of Alderney representatives they’ll make up the States of Deliberation from 1 July 2025 until the next election in 2029.

Leading the incumbents home was poll topper Lindsay de Sausmarez who received 10,721 votes.

Behind her in the polls was second placed fellow-current Deputy Yvonne Burford, receiving 9,427 votes.

Current deputies Charles Parkinson and Steve Falla came third and fourth respectively with 9,294 and 9,017 votes.

Deputy Parkinson said he saw the election results “frankly as a condemnation of the last assembly”.

“Clearly a number of people who were high flyers at the last election have now lost their seats,” he said. “And that’s, I think, mostly about behaviours.

“I thought this election was going to be all about GST but oddly enough it hasn’t been totally about that.”

Also returned to the States for another term are deputies Sasha Kazantseva-Miller, Gavin St Pier, Tina Bury, Jonathan Le Tocq, Chris Blin, Aidan Matthews, Marc Leadbeater, Andy Cameron, Adrian Gabriel, Liam McKenna, Mark Helyar, John Gollop, Simon Vermuelen, and Neil Inder.

“I feel really honoured and humbled actually to have had so many people put their faith in me,” said Deputy Bury, after her second term in office was confirmed with 8,496 votes.

“I didn’t ever expect to come that high up, or you don’t even know if you’re going to get elected. So I feel a bit shocked right now, I might not be as eloquent as I might like to be but yeah, I do feel the responsibility as well. And I will use that to drive me to do good.”

Deputy Simon Vermeulen is also back in the States for a second term.

“I feel elated at that result,” he said.

“I think the public have voted for change. There’s a lot of new faces, and I’ve made a point of getting to know them. We’ve got a really high calibre of States members so there’s no excuses this time.”

Deputy Kazantseva-Miller said it feels like the new States might be split between those pro and against GST.

“It’s been an election of change, there’s been a big turnover. it does feel like an anti GST vote to some extent.”

The new States will be sworn in on 1 July, before getting to work by electing a new President of Policy and Resources.
