Liverpool Council’s Labour group is moving to replace Mayor Joanne Anderson as its leader before her term of office has ended.
The group will elect a new leader in a matter of weeks to lead it into next year’s election. With all-out ballots to be held in less than six months time, the party is to appoint a new chief with Mayor Anderson not standing for re-election. It is thought the new group leader will focus on the impending campaign while the outgoing Mayor focuses on the direction of the city.
The ECHO understands that nominations close for the role on Friday November 18, with hustings events to be held between shortlisted candidates. It is expected that a new group leader could be in place by December 5.
