Conservative Candidate Thomas Turrell has been elected to the London Assembly, following elections held on the 2nd May.
The elections coincided with the London Mayoral election which saw Labour’s Sadiq Khan re-elected for a third term in office. Conservative Candidate Susan Hall came second. Across London at the assembly elections Labour remain the largest party at the Assembly on eleven seats, the Conservatives are second largest on eight seats, followed by the Greens on three, Liberal Democrats with two and Reform with one seat.
Thomas was elected as the constituency Assembly Member for Bexley & Bromley, holding the seat for the Conservatives - and will represent residents who live in Mottingham and Coldharbour wards which fall within the new Eltham & Chislehurst Parliamentary Constituency. In his acceptance speech he congratulated Sadiq Khan but claimed that the status quo was not an option.
Thomas Turrell AM said: "I am thrilled to be elected as the new London Assembly Member and thank my predecessor Peter Fortune for his dedicated service to our boroughs. I look forward to getting stuck into this role and championing our amazing boroughs at City Hall.”
