Election 2012:

Val Shawcross wins Southwark and Lambeth with another big swing to Labour

Ken Livingstone just misses London mayoralty

In the elections on 3 May 2012 (details below), Val Shawcross (Labour) was re-elected as Southwark and Lambeth representative on the Greater London Assembly; the Labour Party won 12 seats in total out of 25, up 4 on the 2008 elections. Ken Livingstone was not quite elected Mayor of London. In Lambeth and Southwark, the Lib-Dems cam fourth in two votes and third in another - poor Simon Hughes.

This was Val Shawcross's fourth victory and yet another increase in her vote:

The former Dockyard ward covered the Rotherhithe peninsula and former Surrey Commercial Docks and was the most northerly and easterly part of the London Borough of Southwark. The electoral ward was split in two for the elections in May 2002: Rotherhithe in the west and Surrey Docks in the east; the local Labour Party reorganised to reflect this.
