In January 2020, Allin-Khan announced her candidacy for Labour Deputy Leader in the 2020 deputy leadership election.[3] It was revealed that she had finished as the runner-up (second place) of five candidates with 26.1% of the vote in the final round of voting when the results were announced on 4 April 2020.[4]
