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.

Selection process

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]
