Changing of the guard
Following the Young Communist League of Britain’s 51st All-Britain Congress, the newly elected YCL Central Committee met for the first time September 21 2023.
The new Central Committee thanked the Congress, and the outgoing Central Committee. In particular long time General Secretary Johnnie Hunter, and Chair Robin Talbot were thanked for their tireless service to the organisation over the past 5 years.
Newly elected General Secretary Georgina Andrews stated “It is a privilege to be given the responsibility of leading our esteemed League. Our League serves as the militant youth wing of the Communist Party, fostering growth and development among young workers and students throughout Britain.
Newly elected Chair Donal Thomas added “My election to the position of Chair is not a reward for working hard, but the demand for hard work. With a newly elected Central Committee, and congressional decisions informing the direction of the League, we are reinvigorated as a vanguard, and as the leadership of our class. Now is the opportunity for the new ideas of congress to be enacted and realised. The revolutionary optimism and energy within our membership and especially our Central Committee is unprecedented within our ranks.[4]
