Your Party the emerging left-wing movement led by Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultana has unveiled draft constitutional plans that would transform it into a formal political organisation, complete with internal elections and a leadership contest set for early 2026.
According to documents the proposals outline a leadership election by March 2026 under a one-member-one-vote system and the creation of a 21-member Central Executive Committee (CEC).
Sixteen members would be directly elected, while two seats would go to MPs , who would be barred from chairing. The leadership term would last 21 months, keeping the founding team in place until late 2027 unless members decide otherwise.
Organisers describe the blueprint as a democratic revolution designed to build a party “accountable to ordinary people, not billionaires or Westminster elites.”
If approved at the founding conference in Liverpool on 29–30 November, the plans would mark the first serious attempt in decades to build a major party to Labour’s left.
The draft also introduces recall clauses for elected officers, digital democracy tools allowing members to edit proposals online, and transparency safeguards to prevent top-down control.
Corbyn and Sultana have played central roles in shaping the project, though neither is guaranteed a leadership position once elections begin.
Tensions between the two have occasionally flared including over data use and accusations of a “sexist boys’ club”, but insiders say disputes have since been resolved.
More than 20,000 people have already registered interest in joining the movement. Regional assemblies are underway nationwide ahead of the Liverpool conference, where members will finalise the constitution and vote on the party’s official name.
If approved, Your Party’s first leadership election will be held in March 2026.
