Jeremy Corbyn has been banned from standing as a candidate for Labour at the next general election.
The National Executive Committee (NEC) voted 22 to 12 to approve a motion from Sir Keir Starmer to prevent his predecessor from being endorsed.
Shabana Mahmood, a Labour MP and the party's national campaign co-ordinator, called the move a "clear demonstration" of the current leadership making changes "to make sure that we can win the trust of the British people again".
But supporters of Mr Corbyn have braded the decision an "anti-democratic stitch-up", saying local constituency members should get to decide his fate.
The veteran MP, 73, has represented Islington North for the past 40 years and must now decide if he wants to stand as an independent candidate, having been a member of the Labour party since he was 16.
Such a move could cause a distracting challenge for Sir Keir at the next election, with Mr Corbyn retaining significant support among constituents who have voted for him in 10 consecutive elections since 1983.
