Greens confirm election candidates
The Green Party’s Caroline Lucas and Ashley Gunstock are running for leader; Norwich Councillor Adrian Ramsay is sole candidate for Deputy Leader. Nominations have now closed.
The Returning Officer for the Green Party leadership elections has released the names of the candidates standing for the posts of Leader and Deputy, after nominations closed earlier today.
The election will run until Friday 5th September, when hustings will be held at the Green Party’s autumn conference in London. The final ballot papers will be collected and counted that evening.
The announcement of the result will take place on Saturday 6th September, and will be followed by the new Leader’s first speech to the party.
The election is the first for Leader and Deputy in the Green Party’s history. Up to now, the party has elected two Principal Speakers instead (one man and one woman) and their role has been limited to representing the party in public.
However, in a referendum of party members last November, the party voted for the change by a majority of 73%.
More about the candidates on the Green Party website.
