Laurence Fox has been barred from taking part in the London mayoral elections after submitting invalid nomination papers.
London Elects, the impartial organisation that oversees the City Hall elections, said that Mr Fox’s application to stand in the May 2 election was “not valid”...
...According to an email published on X by Mr Fox on Thursday night, a London Elects official told his election agents that “the Islington and Lambeth nomination papers only had nine valid subscribers, not the required 10”.
The email, apparently from Alex Conway, the deputy Greater London returning officer, added: “Three further subscribers for other boroughs could not be reconciled to voter register records.”
London Elects said in a statement on Wednesday night: “The Reclaim Party candidate’s representatives met with London Elects for the first time on Tuesday 26 March, less than 24 hours before the close of the nominations deadline. At that time, the paperwork was incomplete.
“Mr Fox’s representatives were advised to ensure that completed forms were submitted well before the Wednesday 4pm statutory deadline.
“The paperwork was submitted very shortly before 4pm. Upon inspection, the nomination forms contained errors which - the deadline having passed - were too late for Mr Fox’s team to correct.
