As I said earlier, the party’s presidential and vice presidential elections have been counted.

Josh Babarinde and Victoria Collins have been elected as President and Vice President respectively.

The presidential result was as follows:

Josh Babarinde 3742   69%

Prue Bray 1698  31%

Turnout 9.1%

The vice presidential race was closer

Victoria Collins  2788 57%

Kamran Hussain 2102 43%

Turnout 8l2%

Congratulations to both Josh and Victoria who take up their new roles on 1st January. The President chairs the Federal Board and is there to be the voice of the members to the leadership. The Vice President is responsible for increasing diversity in the party.

All four candidates contributed to an illuminating, positive and interesting campaign.
