Missing person?

One of the BBC's researchers has been trying to track down the Independent candidate for South Belfast, Geoffrey Wilson, who is proving more elusive than most local politicians. His posters are notable by their absence and his nominees don't seem to know much about him. Geoffrey, if you are out there, here's your chance to let the blogging public know you exist.

If he is who I think he is, he used to go to Grosvenor High School and has always has dreams of being elected to office since we had a mock election in 6th form politics. To be fair - i think (from memory) he won that.

Alan is correct. Geoff won that class election way back in 1988 or so. But 19 years is a long time in politics and he has now officially become the Least Popular Politician in Northern Ireland (perhaps in its entire history?) with just ten first preference votes, comfortably seeing him home in 250th place out of 250 candidates. Is this the lowest ever poll result in Northern Ireland? Does anyone have any info to confirm it?

Geoffrey is my cousin. I remember him as one of two twin brothers, but haven't seen them for ages. My mum told me about this and doesn't know where he is either
