Jeremy Corbyn is to become the parliamentary leader of Your Party, after an election in which his rival Zarah Sultana was also voted on to the party’s leadership committee.
Corbyn’s allies declared victory immediately after the vote in which Corbyn-backed candidates took 14 of the 24 available places on the party’s central executive committee (CEC). Sultana-backed candidates took seven of the seats, while three went to independents.
Your Party, which has a collective leadership model and will be led by the CEC, announced that 25,347 people had voted out of a potential 40,985 verified members, a 61% turnout.
