Morgan’s lead over Stevenson was 19,146 votes (our subtraction). According to the London Free Press, he is the first London mayor to win re-election in 20 years, and the paper’s analysis says voters chose to “stay the course” and returned incumbents to council.

London city council: ward-by-ward results for all 14 wards

The table below lists the leading candidate in each of London’s 14 wards, with every tabulator reporting. Each ward then has its own breakdown. London’s results come from AMO’s election data as republished by Poliwave, which says it reads the City of London’s unofficial results; the City’s own results page did not list ward vote counts when we checked, so these are labelled as media figures. Turnout and mayoral votes by ward are not yet published.

Why we do not give a turnout figure

We could not confirm a citywide turnout number or the total ballots cast for London from the City’s own page when we published, so we do not print one. The City of London says unofficial results are posted as they are reported after 8 p.m., and official results follow certification. This page will be updated when the City publishes turnout.

What happens next

The City Clerk certifies the results. Until then, every total here is unofficial.
