Voting will begin on Monday to decide if Jeremy Corbyn(67) will
remain leader of Britain's Labour Party, with a bitter campaign
deepening divisions that threaten the party's future.
Ballots and online voting forms were due to be sent to party members, who will have until September 21,2016 to decide whether to replace Jeremy Corbyn with MP Owen Smith(46) who was previously little known outside Westminster.
Owen Smith precipitated the election by declaring his candidacy last month, warning that Corbyn's leadership was making the possibility of a split in the party "dangerously real".
Owen Smith, a former member of Jeremy Corbyn's top team, is also targeting voters to the left of the party, promising a "socialist revolution".
