This election saw the first municipal contests in Aberdeen with a candidate supported by the Aberdeen Labour Representation Committee (LRC). While unaffiliated with the national body that had formed in 1900, this local group was modeled and named the same. The LRC consisted of the Aberdeen United Trades Council, the local branches of the Social Democratic Federation and the Independent Labour Party, and the Working Women's Political Association, a local women's suffrage group which later folded into a branch of the Women's Social and Political Union. The group was originally formed to contest the 1907 Aberdeen South by-election.28 December 1906 The Representation of South Aberdeen 4 The Press and Journal https://www.britishnewspaperarchive.co.uk/viewer/BL/0000576/19061228/013/0004 subscription 10 December 2023 Ward results Rosemount Independent (politician) John Newton (incumbent) 492 59.1 Labour Representation Committee (1900) John Croll 341 40.9 151 Independent (politician) St. Clement Independent (politician) Charles G.
