LABOUR Party bosses have denied it is investigating allegations of premature electioneering in Leigh.
Leigh Constituency Labour Party members complained to Labour's regional office and Millbank HQ in London about developments in the race to find a General Election candidate to succeed current MP Lawrence Cunliffe.
They claim local CLP members had been bombarded with CVs from two selection candidates which gave them an unfair advantage.
A spokesperson at Labour's regional HQ said one candidate had got hold of an out-of-date list.
She said: "It's just paranoia. The process at Leigh is not in turmoil.
"There is no official investigation going on. No candidate has got an up-to-date list of members, but one will eventually be sent to them.
"Each member gets one vote. They will decide."
The final selection is expected by the end of April or early May.
