Cllr Bill Randall, the present leader of the city council will be stepping aside as leader of the council in May 2012 following his election as Mayor of Brighton & Hove tonight.

Commenting on his election as Mayor for 2012/13, Councillor Bill Randall said:
“It is a great honour to have been selected as the first Green mayor of Brighton & Hove, and I thank my colleagues for supporting me.

“It was always my intention to serve as Leader for one year. I remain Leader until Annual Council in May next year, and until then will continue to work with councillors, officers and our partners in Brighton & Hove to achieve our goals and aspirations for the city.

“We will be selecting a new Leader in due course, as is normal practice in such matters.”

Informed insiders say that Cllr. Jason Kitcat and Cllr. Amy Kennedy will be front runners for the role of Leader of the Council when Cllr Randall steps aside in May.
