“A free, fully democratic election process which is fair to all potential candidates, from start to finish, and which protects the British National Party from attempt to abuse the process.”  That’s the basic guideline for the first possible BNP leadership election under the party’s new (Version 12.2) constitution.

As is the case every year, nominations for the post of leader of the British National Party open on 20th July, 2010. Nick Griffin, the current elected leader, has indicated his intention to continue in that post for the coming year, but there is the potential for an election if a candidate or candidates come forward and secure the requisite number of nominations.
