NIPSA Broad Left Secure 20 of 25 General Council Seats


NIPSA Broad Left candidates secured 20 out of 25 General Council seats in the recent election. Broad Left candidates took the top 18 positions in terms of votes received, with former NIPSA President’s Carmel Gates and Billy Lynn topping the poll with current Vice-President Lucia Collins and President Padraig Mulholland coming in third and fourth  respectively. Honorary Treasurer Damien Maguire was re-elected and NIPSA Youth Vice-Chair Tiarnán Millar was elected on his first occasion running. The result means that NIPSA can re-ignite the Defence Public Services, fighting against the cuts and protecting public servants.

The turnout for the election increased from around 9% to 13% showing that there is still quite some way to go, but one of our core messages is to make NIPSA a democratic fighting Union and this massive shift to the left shows NIPSA members want a General Council prepared to fight the attacks on Public Services and build an anti-sectarian, anti-cuts campaign.
