Thank you Tokyngton for an amazing nomination. I am honoured.With 30 or so candidates the race is still fairly open but with only three female candidates Dawn Butler is likely to figure again in the lists. The 9 Brent Central wards out of the boroughs 21 wards will make nominations. See comment below for further details on the process..
"There are 21 wards in the borough. "
ReplyDeleteOnly the 9 wards within the Brent Central constituency will make nominations.
Affiliates' branches (mainly trade unions) will also make nominations. Ward branches' noms are usually more indicative on how things are on the ground though as their members are the selectorate in the end.
Candidates receiving nominations from wards covering more than half of the membership will be automatically shortlisted. Those with 0 nominations will be eliminated. The rest will be interviewed by the selection committee.
Thanks.I've corrected my post. I don't think I want to be a bookie on this one.
