On 2 May Londoners will head to the polls to elect a mayor and 25 London Assembly members.

Around six million registered voters will choose who will be in charge of the capital for the next four years.

This year there will be a new voting system first past the post (FPTP), similar to what is used in general elections.

In previous mayoral elections voters could make a first and second choice for mayor, however this time they will only get one vote.

The London mayoral candidates have officially been announced on Thursday 28 March, with 13 candidates running for office.

Here are all the candidates running for London mayor.

Sadiq Khan – Labour Party
