Wellington County has two new mayors after Monday’s municipal election.
In the Township of Puslinch, firefighter James Seeley unseated incumbent and Wellington County’s current warden, Dennis Lever, in a nail-biter with unofficial results showing Seeley winning by 35 votes.
Gregg Davidson’s victory in the Township of Mapleton was a little more convincing after he defeated Neil Driscoll by over 400 votes.
Most of the mayoral races in Wellington County were a one-on-one battle, except for the Township of Erin which saw incumbent Allan Alls defeat two opponents.
Andy Lennox defeated Raymond Tout again in Wellington North in a rematch of the 2014 municipal election, while Kelly Linton held on to the mayor’s seat in Centre Wellington following his win over long-time councillor Fred Morris.
Incumbent Chris White also defeated a long-time councillor in Guelph-Eramosa’s mayoral election. David Wolk represented Ward 1 for two terms before going up against White.
In Minto, George Bridge was re-elected after he defeated Terry Fisk by over 200 votes.
The county council will elect a new Warden on Dec. 7 through a secret ballot process.
