The Wales Green Party is very happy to announce the contenders for the position of Leader, known internally as the Principal Spokesperson.
Nominations for Leader are Alice Hooker-Stroud, lead regional list Assembly candidate for Mid and West Wales; Anthony Slaughter, the current deputy leader and Assembly candidate for Cardiff South & Penarth; and Ashley Wakeling, Swansea West Assembly candidate .
Pippa Bartolotti, current Leader of the Wales Green Party said, ”It’s lovely to have a contest between three very able and significant members of the Wales Green Party. This shows just how far the party has come in the last few years.
Already our profile is the highest it has ever been. Voters young and old are ready to listen to our call for warmer housing, integrated low carbon transport, and home grown energy.
The National Assembly for Wales is the last major political chamber on these islands to vote a Green into place. It’s time for a Green voice in the Assembly, and 2016 will be the year it happens.”
The ballot for leader and deputy leader opens in the next few weeks and hustings will take place at the Wales Green Party AGM on Saturday 14th November.
The nominees for Deputy Spokesperson are Grenville Ham, Alice Hooker-Stroud, Hannah Pudner and Ashley Wakeling. The position of deputy will be conducted by a separate ballot, and held by the person with the most votes of the opposite gender to the Leader choice.
