The results are in for the Taranaki Electricty Trust (TET) election and there is very little change at the board table.
Alan Jamieson is the only new trustee to be elected, coming in with 1386 votes for Ward B.
Alan joins Andrew Wood (with 1,513 votes) and John Campbell (1,400) as trustees for Ward B.
Ward A has had all three current trustees returned. They are Ken Bedford, Mike Davey and Karen Schumacher.
Brian Jeffares, who was chair of the trust before the election, says while he is obviously disappointed not to have been re-elected, he feels the trust is in good hands.
"I think both wards have some great representation. Ward B has two strong and experienced trustees and they are joined by Alan who brings a wealth of community knowledge and experience. He will be a great asset to the board."
Voter turnout was 32.5 per cent, slightly less than the 2014 election turnout of 35.6 per cent.

WARD A: Ken Bedford (1,711 votes)
