Lib Dem candidate for London Mayor
Brian Paddick has been selected to be the Liberal Democrat candidate for London mayor in next May’s election. The former deputy assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan Police was selected after winning a ballot of the party's London members. Mr Paddick, who resigned from the Met earlier this year, beat competition from Chamali Fernando and Fiyaz Mughal for the candidacy. He won 73% of the first preference votes during the contest and will stand against Labour's Ken Livingstone and the Conservatives' Boris Johnson. [BBC] [Brian Paddick’s first speech]
