University of Cambridge Chancellor election, 2011 : ウィキペディア英語版
University of Cambridge Chancellor election, 2011
The University of Cambridge Chancellor election, 2011 refers to a rare instance of a contested election for this position of Chancellor that occurred in October 2011, resulting in the choice of Lord Sainsbury of Turville to succeed the retiring incumbent Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. The Duke had retired on 30 June 2011, shortly after his 90th birthday, having been Chancellor since December 1976. Three other candidates were nominated to oppose the candidate proposed by the university's Nomination Board; the post was won by Baron Sainsbury with 52% of the vote, with a simple majority required to avoid a runoff. Contesting the post were actor Brian Blessed, who finished second with 25% of the votes cast, barrister Michael Mansfield, QC with 17%, and local grocery-owner Abdul Arain with 6%. The election was the first time the Chancellorship had been contested since 1950, and the first actively fought contest since 1847. Although the election was conducted by the single transferable vote system, no transfers of votes were needed as Sainsbury secured a majority of first preference votes.
==Predecessor==
Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh retired on June 30, 2011, creating the opening which led to the October 2011 election. The Duke, husband of Queen Elizabeth II, had served as Chancellor since December 1976, and announced departure of the post as he reached his 90th birthday, after more than 30 years in the post.〔John F. Burns, 2011, "Cambridge Vote Ends With Supermarket Mogul on Top and Grocer in Last," ''The New York Times'' (online), October 16, 2011, see (), accessed 14 March 2015.〕 Prince Philip was quoted by ''The New York Times'' as saying "he wanted a life with 'less frantic rushing about' to ceremonial occasions and 'less trying to think of something to say.'"〔
