If a party nominates someone as their official candidate with a political party description and a logo, once the nomination deadline has passed, the ballot paper cannot be amended even if that candidate is suspended or expelled. If they are then elected, the result would stand and they would sit as an independent, in the event they are stripped of their party membership, though there has been no finding of fact by the Green Party against Mr Hakimi.
To provide well-rounded coverage and a breadth of insight across various events, we rely on contributions from several staff writers, each bringing their own area of expertise to our publication.
