Abdi Duale and Jess Barnard are set to top first preference votes in Labour’s NEC elections, according to a new poll for LabourList. Barnard is among several NEC candidates to back a statement calling for “rebuilding basic democracy, pluralism and fair process within our party”. Emma Burnell, editor of LabourList, said: “These results remind us what a broad party Labour is. Survation, a member of the British Polling Council and a Market Research Society Partner, surveyed 812 readers of LabourList who also said they were Labour Party members between July 24 and 27. Data was weighted to the profile of party members by age, sex, region, 2020 leadership vote and 2025 deputy leadership vote.
