You are disqualified from standing for election as Mayor of London or as an Assembly Member if you are a paid officer of a London borough council and you are employed under the direction of:1
any of that council’s committees or sub-committees the membership of which includes the Mayor or one or more persons appointed on the nomination of the GLA acting by the Mayor
a joint committee the membership of which includes one or more members appointed on the nomination of that council and one or more members appointed on the nomination of the GLA acting by the Mayor
the executive or any committee of the executive of that council, where that council is operating executive arrangements and the membership of which includes the Mayor or one or more persons appointed on the nomination of the GLA acting by the Mayor
a member of the executive of that council, where the council is operating executive arrangements and that member is also the Mayor or a person appointed on the nomination of the GLA acting by the Mayor
As a general rule, if you work for a London borough council or an organisation funded by the council, you should seek advice from your council’s human resources department to help you establish whether any of the above apply to you. Sometimes employment relationships can be complex and, if this is the case for you, we recommend that you seek your own legal advice.
