The selection timeline was set to conclude on Thursday, meaning either Burnham was the only candidate to apply, or he was the only shortlisted candidate.
The NEC has published the timetable for the Makerfield by-election selection process with the candidate being announced on 21 May.
Members can apply to the seat from today, we don't yet know who else other than Burnham will seek selection - DM us if you have any information!
🚨The NEC Officers Group have approved Andy Burnham's request to stand to be the Labour candidate in the Makerfield by-election.
Now it's over to the local selection process to choose the candidate.
For decades, Westminster has overseen the managed decline of towns like mine. We have talked big, then acted small, stuck in a politics of incrementalism that cannot meet the moment. We have lost the trust of those our party was built to serve.
It is my unwavering belief that
Comfortable margins for Organise for the executive officer positions:
YL Chair
Emily Moore 59.9%
Catherine Howells 40.1%
LS Chair
Willow Parker 57.8%
Amelia Tamblyn 42.2%
LS Secretary
Alex Kyriacou 58.5%
Vincent Conquest 41.5%
LS Vice Chair
Kashvi Khanna 55.4%
Eleanor Woolstencroft 44.6%
@charliemansell Yes, STV Ballots - Renew only backed two candidates for Ordinary Rep but even then and presuming Organise had strong voter management - it’s a strong result for them.
