AWP’s is celebrating a set of inspiring results in the 2024 London Mayor and London-wide Assembly Elections.

Mayor of London Election 

In the election for Mayor of London, AWP’s Femy Amin received: 29,280 votes (1.18% of the vote) and came 8th out of 13 candidates.

The party previously contested the London Mayoral election for the first time in 2021 when the election was then held under the Supplementary Vote system. With the Mayoral election now held under the First Past The Post, there were no second preference votes.

In the 2021 Mayor of London Election (held under the previous Supplementary Vote system), AWP’s Vanessa Hudson received 16,826 first preference votes (0.7%), 63,619 second preference votes and ranked 12th out of 20 candidates.

London-wide Assembly Election

In the London-wide Assembly Election, AWP’s party list of seven candidates (Vanessa Hudson, Saffron Gloyne, Alex Bourke, Femy Amin, Bel Jacobs, Mark Scott and Julian Weisman) received 41,303 votes (1.7%) and ranked 7th overall.

This result is broadly similar to the party’s 2021 result in which AWP’s party list received 44,667 votes (1.7%) and ranked seventh overall.

Overall, turnout for the elections was slightly down on 2021 with turnout at 40.5% compared to 42% in 2021.

“Tonight’s results are a tremendous source of validation and encouragement for the party” said AWP Leader, Vanessa Hudson. “Femy Amin has done extremely well in a Mayoral Election now held under First Past The Post and in the London-wide Assembly Election the party has maintained it’s 2021 success. Looking across the two contests, AWP received over 70,500 votes which, we believe, is just an incredible show of support for our vision of a fairer, more sustainable London for all. We extend a heartfelt thank you to all those voting for AWP and supporting our campaign in so many ways.”
