Three candidates who had hoped to run in the October 17 election have been declared ineligible.

They are former City of Perth councillor Steve Hasluck, plus Mustang Bar owner Mike Keiller and businesswoman Gloria Zhang.

Mr Keiller and Ms Zhang had been linked to Seven News presenter Basil Zempilas’ tilt for Lord Mayor.

Mr Keiller said he was speaking to his lawyer about a potential legal challenge of the WA Electoral Commissioner’s decision.

Mr Hasluck blamed a “red tape technicality” and said he planned to stand for council next year.
