Murton Ward had elected only Labour councillors since 1973.
That changed in 2025, when Reform UK won both of the ward’s two seats.

Tomorrow’s by-election will decide whether Reform can defend that breakthrough.

The #DurhamByElection is happening today. I know Durham will make the right choice. May the best candidate win. Good luck @chrisfordurham! #cdnpoli

I finally got some shots of the @ChrisBorgia8 lawn sign, I decided to also show my support by posing myself. #DurhamByElection is in 2 days, can't wait! 💪🧡

#DurhamRegion, a choice awaits us. Fill Erin O'Toole's vacant seat with a far-right ideolouge, or a community-focused union man like @ChrisBorgia8. I'm endorsing him to combat the radical Poilievre agenda with Facts, Logic, and NDP Wisdom in March! 💪🧡 #DurhamByElection

Just met @ChrisBorgia8 at the Durham NDP Canvasing event. Can't wait to beat the radical Poilievre agenda with Facts, logic, and ndp wisdom 💪🧡
