Keir Starmer Confirms Diane Abbott Can Stand as Labour Candidate in Hackney North and Stoke Newington
May 31, 2024, 12:48 PM
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed that Diane Abbott is free to stand as a Labour candidate in the upcoming general election. This decision follows significant backlash from communities across the country and speculation about her candidacy. Abbott, who has represented Hackney North and Stoke Newington since 1987, was previously under investigation, which led to discussions about her eligibility. Starmer emphasized that while it is his view that she should be allowed to run, the final decision rests with the Labour Party's National Executive Committee (NEC). Sources suggest that the NEC is not expected to block her candidacy.
