Leeds councillor Mothin Ali elected Deputy Leader of the Green Party
He joins co-deputy Rachel Millward and new leader Zack Polanski
A Leeds City Councillor has been elected as one of the deputy leaders of the Green Party, after party members voted for a new top team.
Mothin Ali, who has represented Gipton and Harehills since last year, was elected alongside Rachel Millward, who is a councillors in Wealden in Sussex.
London Assembly member Zack Polanski is taking over as leader.
Mothin said: “I’m delighted to be part of the new Green Party leadership team that will build on our most recent successes in local councils up and down the country."
"Next year will be a huge year for growing our councillor numbers again and making new breakthroughs.
“I know from my own experience in winning my council seat from Labour that people have lost trust in the Labour government being able to take on the racism of Reform and offer real change for our communities.”
The Greens won a record four seats in Parliament at the last election.
