June's election for NUT General Secretary WILL be contested

I am pleased to be able to announce that, following news of my nomination being agreed by quorate meetings of Bolton, Doncaster, Liverpool and Warwickshire NUT Associations this week, I have now received at least the ten nominations required to be able to stand as a candidate in the General Secretary election this June.

This news confirms that a contested election will now take place between myself and Christine Blower, the existing NUT General Secretary.

So far, according to my records, I have received nominations from 12 NUT Associations, with a good chance that several more may yet be added before the final deadline of April 30. 

UPDATE: The final list of confirmed nominations provided by NUT HQ is:

• Leeds
• Doncaster
• Blackpool
• Bolton
• Cheshire West
• Liverpool
• Central Nottinghamshire
• Nottinghamshire (South)
• City of Leicester
• Warwickshire
