The London Evening Standard LINK today said that it had seen e-mails that showed a 'former Labour staffer' had been told to conceal Cllr Oladapo''s death because Cllr Butt did not want a by-election in Kilburn. The article quotes 'Labour insiders' as saying Butt did not want a by-election in case an 'unsupportive' candidate was elected affecting his chances in the leadership election.
Cllr Michael Pavey, who is contesting the leadership, has called for a full investigation into these 'very serious allegations'.
The Kilburn Times has published a story on the Standard story which includes comment by Muhammed Butt and Cllr John Duffy LINK
