The answer

This is the response I recieved from the Electoral Commission.

Dear Mr. Weald,

Thank you for your email to the Electoral Commission.The Electoral Commission issues guidance to Candidates and Agents on electoral offences including bribery. We are however not the relevant body to offer guidance on whether this particular case would constitute to an electoral offence as candidates are required to seek their own legal advice for their campaign issues.
We would suggest that you consult your own legal guidance to determine whether it is an electoral offence.
I'm sorry I have not been able to offer a definitive answer however please let me know if you require any other information.
Kind Regards
Iredia Oboh
Public Information Adviser
