As we told you back in January 2016 reelected CA Anthony Martin resigned only weeks into his new term. After that announcement three others including Rutherford announced they would run for the post. Rutherford had unsuccessfully run for the post originally back in 2011 where Martin handley beat him.
Rutherford takes office in two weeks.
