Cherie's stepmum to fight election
9:43am Tuesday 5th February 2008
The Labour Party will have Cherie Blair's stepmother as the candidate in the Todmorden ward of the Calderdale municipal election.
Stephanie Booth, who is married to Cherie's father, actor Tony Booth, was confirmed at the weekend and will contest the seat which has become vacant because sitting Liberal Democrat councillor Claire Townley has decided not to seek re-election.
She faces an election on May 1 with Hilary Myers being chosen as the Liberal Democrat candidate.
