Lambeth 2026 Selections

We are selecting our candidates for key wards in preparation for 2026 elections to Lambeth Council.

This includes selecting candidates for your ward of Waterloo & South Bank. Note that the selectorate for each ward is Liberal Democrat members in that ward.

Waterloo & South Bank is a two-member ward. 

We have accepted one nomination for this selection, whose name and nomination statement follow: 

Doug Buist: 

"In 2022, I was 67 votes short of being elected as a Liberal Democrat councillor for Waterloo & South Bank. I would value members’ support again to run a winning campaign in 2026. 

My three priorities as a Council member will be: (i) to radically improve the condition and maintenance of housing estates in the ward; (ii) make it easier for my constituents to access the Council/public services they need; and (iii) seek enhancements to the issues that most affect the community’s day-to-day life such as accessible pavements, road safety, cleanliness, open spaces, policing and personal safety."

Members of the Waterloo & South Bank ward will receive their ballot to vote in this selection immediately following the online “Meet the Candidates Q&A” on Monday 13th January at 7pm. They will have two weeks to cast their vote.

Following the completion of this ballot, unfilled spaces in our key wards will be allocated to approved candidates at the discretion of the 2025 Executive Committee.
