Chairwoman of Labor: Increased Conflict Within Party

An investigation by two senior members of the Labor party on behalf of the former board of the party section in Amsterdam New West found that the Labor party chairwoman, Lillianne Ploumen, has tried to manipulate the rules in order to promote her personal favorite Ahmed Marcouch as leader of the party’s election list in that area. The investigators concluded that the intervention of Ploumen has led to polarization and that she tried to promote that party members in that section could not vote for candidates of their choice.
