The NASUWT teaching union is preparing for its first contested leadership election in a generation as Neil Butler has emerged as a challenger to incumbent Matt Wrack. Butler, who successfully fought a legal battle to be eligible, has gained enough nominations to trigger a members' vote, scheduled from June 19 to July 23. The election presents a significant ideological divide, with Wrack aligning with the left and Butler garnering support from the more moderate faction. This follows difficulties in leadership succession after previous general secretary Patrick Roach's resignation last year.
Neil Butler's successful legal challenge against the NASUWT's ruling allowed him to run against Matt Wrack, creating a contested leadership election for the first time in decades.
Wayne Broom confirmed the members' ballot timeline, stating, 'Following the close of nominations, there is now a contested election and we will move to a ballot of members.'
