The London Labour Party mayoral selection of 2002 was the process by which the Labour Party selected its candidate for Mayor of London, to stand in the 2004 mayoral election. Nicky Gavron, Deputy Mayor of London and London Assembly member for Enfield and Haringey, was selected to stand.[1]
In the event, Gavron did not contest the Mayoral election - in 2004 she stood aside as the Labour candidate and incumbent Mayor Ken Livingstone was nominated as the new candidate following his readmission to the Labour Party. Livingstone went on to win re-election, appointing Gavron his Deputy.
The Labour Party candidate for Mayor was elected by an electoral college composed half-and-half of the votes of Labour members in London and the votes of affiliated organisations.[2]
