Corbyn's victory ends Your Party's co-founder power struggle

Corbyn's victory ends Your Party's co-founder power struggle

Jeremy Corbyn is set to become Your Party's parliamentary leader after his slate, 'The Many', won 14 of the 24 seats on the central executive committee, against seven for Zarah Sultana's 'Grassroots Left'. Both were elected as public office holders, a prerequisite for the parliamentary leader role. Some 25,347 of the party's 40,985 verified members voted, a turnout of 61.8%. The result ends months of infighting between the co-founders since the party launched in July 2025.
