Multiple unofficial, but reliable, sources tell the Voice that Simon Hughes will not face an election for the post of Party President.
PS This time I am assured the Voice is right, unlike the other time. I really am right this time. 100%. There’s a press release coming, and everything.
UPDATE: The party’s official announcement is here.
For other elections (Federal Executive, FCC etc) the timetable now is as follows:
- The final opportunity for candidates to withdraw their nomination has passed
- The final opportunity for candidates to submit manifesto artwork has passed
- Ballot papers will be sent out on 16 October
- They should be returned by 3 November
- The results will be announced on 6 November
