Chief Minister of Guernsey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Chief Minister of Guernsey is the head of government of Guernsey. He or she chairs the Policy Council, roughly equivalent to a Cabinet. The current postholder is Mike Torode who was voted in on 5th March, 2007.

This post was created following the Machinery of Government review which came into effect 1 May, 2004.

The first post holder was Deputy Laurie Morgan who was elected by the States of Guernsey in their first meeting of May 2004 and beat Deputy Bernard Flouquet, who was elected Deputy Chief Minister, and Deputy Mike Torode.

It was announced 31 January 2007, 'that the Chief' Minister and the Policy Council were to resign[1] following an independent audit into the tender process for a hospital block.

The election of a new Chief Minister to replace Laurie Morgan took place at a meeting of the States of Guernsey on 5 March 2007. Laurie Morgan announced[2] that he would not be seeking re-election. Four candidates contested the position: Deputies Jonathan Le Tocq, Bernard Flouquet, Mike Torode and Peter Roffey.

In the final round of voting Deputy Mike Torode beat Deputy Peter Roffey by 24 votes to 22.[3]

He is widely seen a Caretaker Chief Minister and is not expected to stand in the 2008 General Election.
