The Federal Executive is the governing body of the Liberal Democrats. It is chaired by the party president, currently Sal Brinton, and includes members of the party-at-large elected every two years, as well as representatives from the state parties, MPs, Peers, MEPs, and councillors.[1]

Current membership

Councillor representatives

State Party representatives

Directly Elected:

Lord Rennard

In November 2015, the election of Chris Rennard by members of the House of Lords as the Peer Representative to the committee caused a "backlash" from party members, due to public accusations of sexual harassment that had been made against the peer. The complaints triggered a petition calling for a special conference to debate the issue,[2] and resulted in Rennard stepping down from the body shortly afterwards.[3]
