Labour Leader calls caucus meeting

Labour Leader David Shearer has called his caucus to a meeting in Wellington at 4pm tomorrow.

“I will be seeking the endorsement of my colleagues for the Labour leadership.

“The endorsement I’m seeking will be in line with the decision made by Labour Party members at this weekend’s conference that I must have at least 60% support of the caucus.

“A formal endorsement vote will also still be held in February in accordance with the new rules approved by Party members.

“I’m holding this vote tomorrow to demonstrate that I have the support of my caucus and to put recent speculation to bed.

“It is important that these matters are resolved so that Labour can lift its sights to focus on the serious challenges facing the country, including jobs, education and housing affordability,” said David Shearer.
