ALT OPEN LETTER Your Party Scotland Interim Scottish Executive Committee raises concerns to Your Party collective leadership.

ALT Dear Your Party CEC members, First of all, congratulations on your election. We look forward to working with you all and building a party fit to represent the working class in Scotland and across Britain. As the Interim Scottish Executive Committee of Your Party - as ratified by members at Your Party Scotland’s founding conference - as well as Scotland’s CEC seat holder, we are getting in touch to ask for urgent action to be taken to ensure democratic decisions taken by Scottish members in Dundee are carried through. In particular, these relate to preparations for the 2026 Scottish Parliamentary elections on May 7, where the April 1st deadline for candidate nominations is fast approaching, in addition to elections to Your Party’s Scottish Executive Committee (SEC).

ALT As the interim SEC, we have been in contact with Your Party HQ requesting that emails be sent to members inviting them to submit nominations for the SEC, as well as to attend regional meetings to set campaigning strategy and open candidate selection for May’s Holyrood elections. We are very disappointed that we have not heard back from Your Party’s central team, and would ask for an urgent intervention from the newly-elected CEC members to ensure these emails - which were fully drafted and shared with the central team earlier this month - are sent without further delay. We attach below a planned schedule for both Scottish Parliament selections, as well as the imminent SEC election, and can provide an updated draft email sent to HQ earlier this month to allow for the updated schedule outlined. Finally, we again ask that some members of Scotland’s interim SEC be given privileges to contact Your Party members in lieu of a permanent SEC being in place.

ALT We noted with interest during the CEC elections announcement that it was confirmed members of the sortitioned Members’ Oversight Committee were allowed limited access to members’ data, and we would ask that this approach be emulated for the democratically-endorsed interim SEC in Scotland. We look forward to your response as soon as possible, and note that this letter is being shared openly to inform members in Scotland of the challenges being faced ahead of the 2026 elections and the upcoming SEC elections. Yours in solidarity, Your Party Scotland interim SEC Niall Christie, Your Party CEC member, Scotland

The statement thanks everyone who voted, supported her, and welcomed her into branches over the past seven weeks, with special thanks to Grassroots Left comrades and campaign supporters. She says she is honoured to have a seat on the CEC and emphasises that the election was about members having a real say in how the party runs. She expresses pride as a woman of Nigerian and Sierra Leonean heritage to serve alongside 20 other women on the CEC, including her sister Mel, and says politics is not reserved for a select elite. She states that the far right is not abstract to her and references escalating violence fuelled by scapegoating and blame. She calls for collective action against austerity, racism, forever wars and corrupt corporations, and for building a truly socialist, anti-Zionist, anti-fascist party committed to liberation for all.
