Liberal Democrats suspend Leadership Campaign until May 2021
Today, as a result of the Coronavirus crisis, the Liberal Democrat Federal Board has decided to postpone the leadership election until May 2021.
President of the Liberal Democrats Mark Pack said:
"The country is currently going through our biggest crisis since 1945. Our party has decided that we must put all our attention into dealing with fallout from the Coronavirus.
"The Liberal Democrats have always put the national interest first and I am proud of the role we have played in championing NHS and care workers, as well as sticking up for the self-employed.
"We will continue to scrutinise government policy and fight for the most vulnerable in our society."
