Anne Fry, the sitting Liberal Democrat councillor for the Newton Abbot North division of Devon, was apparently deselected. She stood in the 2013 county council elections as an Independent, polling 347 votes, but coming fourth behind Conservative, Lib Dem and UKIP candidates. The result was a Conservative gain from Lib Dem with a majority of 80.
