SIX candidates are to contest the by-election on Moray Council caused by the resignation of a councillor who claimed she was hounded out of office by a stalker, waging an anonymous hate-mail campaign against her.

Carolle Ralph stepped down from Moray Council in December, after just six months representing Lossiemouth’s Heldon and Laich ward for the SNP.
