Senior party members were heartened that in just 10 months, more than 60,000 people voted for Top at the September election. Morgan will continue as leader while the party considers who will be at the forefront of the next election campaign. ''With a strong group of candidates and supporters it is proper to pass that torch on to someone else prior to the next election," said Morgan.
