Frank Dobson, MP for Holborn and St. Pancras, was selected to stand, defeating former Leader of the Greater London Council Ken Livingstone and Glenda Jackson, MP for Hampstead and Highgate. Livingstone went on to run as an independent candidate in the Mayoral election, defeating Dobson, who came third behind Conservative candidate Steven Norris. Selection processThe Labour candidate was selected via an Electoral College of Labour Party MPs, MEPs, GLA candidates, members and affiliated unions. Individual London Labour members were invited to vote via a postal ballot. Affiliated unions were not obliged to ballot members; instead some cast block votes (plumped for one candidate). Candidates
ResultLivingstone won amongst party members (60% to Dobson's 40%) and among affiliated unions (72% to Dobson's 28%, a more than 2:1 vote). Dobson's landslide victory (173:27 in ratio) amongst the systemic third of votes attributed to MPs, MEPS and GLA candidates saw him win narrowly overall: forming a simple electoral college outcome of 52% to 48%.
AftermathLivingstone described the result as "tainted" because the election system gave "greater" weight to the votes of London Labour MPs, MEPs, & GLA candidates, rather than rank-and-file party members (in fact equal)[1] and decided to contest the election as an Independent. On handing in nomination papers he was automatically expelled from the Labour Party.[2] Livingston as an Independent won the election, with Dobson coming third (winning 13% of the popular vote).
