Liberal Democrat members in London will shortly be voting to select (and order) the party’s 11 candidates for the London Assembly list elections being held in May 2016.

The rules said the shortlisting committee should aim for a list of 15 people for members to choose the 11 from. They’ve actually gone for 16. One appeal was lodged over their initial selection of 16 and that 16 still stands, being:

Dawn Barnes

Rob Blackie

Duwayne Brooks

Emily Davey

Merlene Emerson

Brian Haley

Adrian Hyyrylainen-Trett

Stephen Knight (incumbent)

Teena Lashmore

Ben Mathis

Annabel Mullin

Pauline Pearce

Caroline Pidgeon (incumbent)

Mark Platt

Zack Polanski

Marisha Ray

As you can see from the list, both the incumbent Lib Dem London Assembly members have gone for re-election and have been shortlisted.

The election will be carried out by a mix of electronic and postal ballot. If you’re a member on the party’s email records, you will get an email with information about how to vote online.

The shortlist for the Liberal Democrat Mayor candidate (selected from these six applicants) will be published shortly.
