Support from the Branches for Kilroy Gathers Pace

I have just received this news from a reliable source close to events:

"I've just spoken with [name withheld]. The Branch Committee [in the South East Region] met last night and voted 12 to nil with two abstainers for both an immediate election and that they want Robert Kilroy-Silk for leader. [Name withheld] was deputed to inform Petrina Holdsworth, Party Chairman, ASAP".

This news makes the number of Branches wanting an immediate leadership election 66.

Earlier this report had also been received:-

A West Midlands Branch held a Branch Meeting last week at which the main item under discussion was whether or not there should be a leadership election, and who people would vote for in that election. The result was: Hold a leadership election now: 27-1 in favour; vote for leader: Knapman 1, Kilroy-Silk 27

A South East Branch has recently (last few days) oveturned the view of its Chairman. At their Branch Committee Meeting held this week, the Committee voted 5-0 in favour of an leadership election now, with one abstention"

The number of Branches now calling for a leadership election has risen to 65. Advice has been received that as the Electoral Commission only knows about 181 Branches, it would be sufficient if 37 of those Branches (i.e. 20%) called for a leadership election.
