The Lib Dem London Mayoral Race 2011

paddick• Brian Paddick Selected as Lib Dem Mayoral Candidate [Sep 02]

' . . Paddick, who came third in the 2008 mayoral election when Johnson ousted Livingstone after two terms, was declared the winner after a four-horse race in which the former MP Lembit Opik was eliminated in the first round.

. . On Friday, in an election run on the single transferrable vote, Opik secured just 252 votes, coming fourth behind London councillor Brian Haley, with 316.

Paddick narrowly won on second preference votes (1,567), with Mike Tuffrey, a member of the London assembly, close behind on 1,476. About 6,000 London party members were eligible to vote. [Guardian Sept 02]'
