Her victory would be a surprise defeat for Steve Turner, who is favoured by the union’s head Len McCluskey
Sharon Graham is said to be “confident” of winning the contest to be the next head of Unite in what would be a surprise defeat for Steve Turner, the candidate favoured by the union’s current general secretary, Len McCluskey.
Graham’s team issued a statement on Tuesday saying they were certain of victory, on the basis of the preliminary results observed after about 10% of ballot papers were opened for sampling purposes.
