London Mayoral Election Candidates for 2022

The mayor’s office was relocated to the Royal Docks in March 2022. The campaign for the next London mayor is in full swing, with political parties introducing their chosen candidates. The upcoming vote, scheduled for May 2, will also involve the election of members to the London Assembly. It’s worth noting that the mayoral elections typically occur every four years, but the previous one, slated for 2021, was delayed by a year due to the pandemic. Below is a list of candidates from different political parties in alphabetical order, and it will be continually updated as more developments arise.

The Conservative Party has put forward London Assembly member Susan Hall as its candidate for the mayoral election. Meanwhile, the Green Party has announced Zoe Garbett, a councillor representing Dalston and Hackney, as their candidate. The current London mayor, who first assumed office in 2016, is now running for a historic third term.

The Liberal Democrat candidate in this election is Rob Blackie, a digital marketer known for advising start-up tech companies. Reform UK has chosen Howard Cox, the founder of the Fair Fuel UK campaign, as its candidate for the mayoral race.

The campaign for the next London mayor is gaining momentum, and as the election date draws nearer, the public can expect to see more candidates from various political parties entering the race.
