Tower Hamlets London Borough Council

Tower Hamlets London Borough Council is the local authority for the London Borough of Tower Hamlets in Greater London, England. The council is unusual in that its executive function is controlled by a directly elected mayor of Tower Hamlets, currently John Biggs.

Contents

Prior council composition

Since the 2014 election the makeup of the Borough Council has changed considerably, with the second-placed Tower Hamlets First party removed from the Electoral Commission's register of political parties following election court findings that Tower Hamlets First did not operate any responsible financial scheme, [3] nor in the manners as submitted in its registration as a political party, [4] Lutfur Rahman's re-election to the post of Mayor was declared void, and the subsequent by-election was won by John Biggs of the Labour Party. The Labour Party controlled the council from the time of the by-election in June 2015 until one of its councillors defected to the Liberal Democrats in February 2017 over Brexit. [5] Another of Labour's councillors, who served as the Speaker of the Council, was suspended by the party for 10 months in 2016, and again in March 2018, ending his term as an Independent; he went into the election as a candidate for People's Alliance of Tower Hamlets. [6] Also represented was the Conservative Party.

Tower Hamlets First was a British political party represented in Tower Hamlets London Borough Council, which was launched to contest the 2014 local elections in the Borough. During its existence it was the second largest party on Tower Hamlets Council and the fifth largest political party out of all London borough councils.

Electoral Commission (United Kingdom) an independent body set up by the UK Parliament

The Electoral Commission is an independent body set up by the UK Parliament. It regulates party and election finance and sets standards for well-run elections.

The 2018 result saw Labour hold the mayoralty and re-gain control of the Council, winning all but one of the seats won by Tower Hamlets First in 2014, as well as seats from the Conservatives. Rabina Khan, formerly of Tower Hamlets First, but now leader of the rival PATH, came second in the Mayoral election and was the only former Tower Hamlets First councillor to win a seat.

Electoral wards

The election was held on the boundaries established by the Tower Hamlets (Electoral Changes) Order 2013, which reduced the size of the Council and created new electoral wards. This was the second election on the new boundaries, after the 2014 election. [7]
