Who Momentum is backing for the Young Labour national committee

As we reported before it happened, on 17 December Momentum held a meeting in order to decide the candidates it will back in this year’s elections for the Young Labour National Committee (which will take place by a ballot of all young members). About twenty Young Labour activists of the forty who were invited attended.

Our editor Sahaya James, who had put her name forward for the position of NEC rep, was not selected. The candidates selected are as follows. Once again, as with the meeting itself, there is an issue of transparency – the movement should know what is being done in its name. There is more to say about the process and politics but for now we limit ourselves to this basic information.

If you have any questions, get in touch with Rida Vaquas, the Clarion editor and Momentum NCG member who reported back from the meeting: ridavaquas@gmail.com
