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.

After the count, Josh said:

I’m so grateful to Liberal Democrat members for electing me to serve as our next Party President.

With the traditional parties failing to stand up to Reform’s division, I’m fired up to help ensure our party is ready to be the last line of defence against them.

I’ll be working across the party to broaden our reach, apply my youth work experience to engaging young voters ahead of votes at 16, and get battle-ready for next May’s elections for the Scottish Parliament, Welsh Senedd and councils and Mayors across England.
