Re-elected as UNISON Greater London Regional Council officer (Finance Convenor) 2026-27

 

I was pleased to be re‑elected with a solid majority as Finance Convenor (RCO) for the London Region, and I offer commiserations to my opponent. I think I was first elected to this role in either 2006 or 2007, which means this may well be my twentieth term in office — quite a milestone.

The only other contested RCO election this year was for Deputy Convenor, and my colleague Conroy Lawrence (left in the picture) was also comfortably re‑elected. None of the RCO positions were challenged by the “evil ones”, so it was a straightforward win for the forces of "light and reason" in the London Region.

It will certainly be an interesting few years ahead with a new General Secretary from the far left, elected with the backing of a tiny, tiny proportion of UNISON’s membership. Watch this space.
