Candidates

[edit]

CLP nominations

[edit]

To proceed in the Labour selection process, each applicant had to secure the nomination of at least five Constituency Labour Parties (CLPs) in the London region. There are 73 CLPs in London, and each CLP could make up to two nominations. The first nomination was required to be for one of the female candidates, and the second nomination could be for any candidate. Nominations were decided at open meetings of local parties, with all Labour members and registered/affiliated supporters within that CLP eligible to vote in person.[1][2]

The results were as follows:

First nomination Second nomination
Candidate CLPs Candidate CLPs
Tessa Jowell 63 Sadiq Khan 42
Diane Abbott 8 David Lammy 15
None 2 Christian Wolmar 6
Gareth Thomas 6
None 4

Keran Kerai and Neeraj Patil received no CLP nominations and were therefore eliminated from the contest. All six other applicants received enough nominations to go forward.
