In 2015 I ran against Peter Mandelson for Chancellorship of The University of Manchester. The votes came from three areas: The Board, The Alumni and The lecturers. I am not afraid to say that when the registrar read out the voting numbers on the phone I shed a tear. Lord Peter Mandelson: 5,269 votes Lemn Sissay: 7,131 votes. I served my full tenure as Chancellor from 2015 to 2022.
Peter Mandelson pivoted and almost immediately aligned himself as chancellor at Manchester Metropolitan University which had no such system of voting.
One of the greatest honours of my life is to give service. I loved being chancellor. I haven't commented on this particular matter up until now. I just want to say thank you to the people who voted for me. You made the right decision.
