Rather belatedly, Brent Labour councillors are being asked to support an open letter calling on the London Region Campaign Improvement Board to reconsider their decisions on selections for the 2026 local election.
The letter, written in a respectful tone, cites the loss of effective councillors and disquiet amongst Labour members and local residents about the process. It argues that the process has had the opposite of the intended effect of ensuring a democratic process and selection of a group of diverse and effective candidates, and could affect electoral performance in May.
The letter calls for a reconsideration of decisions and a dialogue with party members, candidates and residents about thir concerns.
The Board is due to revisit the selections in January 2026.
