Wikipedia does not confer an automatic presumption of notability on borough councillors, or on unelected candidates for higher office. A local councillor might get over WP:NPOL #3 if enough reliable source coverage were shown to confer a WP:GNG pass, but that hasn't been demonstrated here — and a person who didn't win election to Parliament gets an article only if you can show that he was already notable enough for an article before he was a candidate, so that doesn't count for anything either.
