Momentum-backed candidates have done a clean sweep in the National Executive Committee elections, winning all six places in the constituency section.
All of the candidates on the left wing Centre Left Grassroots Alliance (CLGA) slate, supported by the Campaign for Labour Party (CLPD) and Momentum, were elected – meaning that no one from the Progress and Labour First slate made it onto the NEC. This section, elected entirely by Labour Party members, saw an unprecedented rise in the number of votes following a significant membership spike in the past year.
In the councillors’ representatives section Alice Perry and Nick Forbes were both easily elected. This section was less obviously factional, and Perry and Forbes are considered more independents, but the result is likely to be taken as solace by Corbynsceptics in the party.
The results in the constituency Labour Party (CLP) section were:
BLACK, Ann | 100,999 | Elected |
SHAWCROFT, Christine | 97,510 | Elected |
