A big question mark has been floating over Oldham Council's leadership since the local authority went into no overall control during local elections
Two possible candidates for Oldham council’s leader have emerged after a week of ‘chaotic’ negotiations between the borough’s political groups.
Labour still has the biggest group in the council, with 27 out of the 60 councillors. And Coun Shah automatically remains the leader until the first annual council meeting on May 22. The decision came after the Lib Dems rejected a deal with the Labour group yesterday . The group and their allies could make moves at the meeting next week to dethrone the Labour cabinet.
In a statement shared with the LDRS, Coun Shah said of the alliance: “Like me, the people of Oldham will be curious to know what this last-minute, cobbled-together, coalition of chaos really stands for.
