“Gemma, Yasmine, and Minesh are ready and willing to stand up for the rights of members and local parties.”
By Momentum
Momentum and the Centre Left Grassroots Alliance have endorsed NEC candidates that will “stand up for member democracy and due process.”
The slate includes incumbent representatives Yasmine Dar and Gemma Bolton, who have sat on Labour’s ruling body since 2018 and 2020 respectively. This year, they are joined on the slate by Sheffield Labour Councillor Minesh Parekh.
After the furore surrounding the Labour Leadership’s decision to block Andy Burnham from standing as an MP in Gorton and Denton, Momentum is calling for CLPs to nominate candidates who will stand up for the rights of members and advance Party democracy.
Alex Charilaou, Momentum Co-Chair, said:
“This weekend, we saw NEC Officers enact an outrageous and destructive stitch-up in the Gorton and Denton by-election.
That’s why it’s so important to elect CLP representatives to the NEC who will champion real Labour values and stand up for member democracy and due process.
Gemma, Yasmine, and Minesh are ready and willing to stand up for the rights of members and local parties.”
