JEREMY CORBYN is set to be named parliamentary leader of Your Party after the election of its first central executive, with a mission to get the troubled party “back on track.”
Candidates endorsed by the For the Many slate, backed by Mr Corbyn, won 14 of the 24 seats on the executive.
The party’s other co-founder, Zarah Sultana, was herself elected, but the Grassroots Left slate she endorsed had only seven candidates elected, all of them women.
In the ‘endorsements’ phase, during which Your Party members could endorse candidates they wished to see on the ballot, Jeremy Corbyn’s ‘The Many’ was leading in 12 seats, while Zarah Sultana’s ‘Grassroots Left’ led in another 10, alongside two Independent candidates.

11,414 members took part. Over 350 members put themselves forward as candidates. More than 80 progressed to the next stage, the majority of which are Independents.
