Momentum members elect a new National Coordinating Group (NCG). 20 of the 24 candidates elected were from the Forward Momentum campaign, which ran on the slogan ‘trust the members, build the movement’.
Candidates include teachers, firefighters, former parliamentary candidates, a trainee paramedic and a sitting MP. The new NCG is made up of 50% women, including seven BAME members, seven under the age of 30 and five LGBT members. NCG members are drawn from all the regions and nations of the UK, and for the first time Momentum has an NCG member elected from its international section who lives in New York.
