LONDON, Ky. (WKYT) – After a judge ruled that London Mayor Randall Weddle is not eligible to run for reelection, the Laurel County Clerk has confirmed that his name will not be on the ballot.

On Tuesday, a Laurel County Circuit Judge Michael Caperton ruled London Mayor Randall Weddle does not meet the one-year city residency requirement to run for mayor in November.

In a letter on Wednesday, Laurel County Clerk Tony Brown approved an emergency motion to remove Weddle’s name from the ballot.

As a result, Matt Orr will be the only London mayor candidate listed on the ballot.
