(From L to R) Jeff Jacobs & Zac Goldsmith MP (Conservative Party London Mayor Candidate).<br /> <br /> London, 06-07/05/2016. The morning after the London Mayoral Election, press began to congregate on the ninth floor of City Hall to report on the results and the official announcement of the new Mayor of London. At 15:21, the press team of City Hall announced the results by constituency. At just gone 17:30, the press videographers and photographers were escorted downstairs to the Chamber (second floor) to wait for the official final announcement. The press waited, however, almost five hours for this to happen. At 22:11, the Greater London Returning Officer, Jeff Jacobs, approached the stage and presented the new Greater London Assembly members. And, finally, at 12:18 on the 7th of May (just under nine hours after the first City Hall press announcement), Mr Jacobs officially announced the new Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan for the Labour Party. An official statement (that you can find at https://londonelects.org.uk/news-centre/news-listing/election-count-delay-explained and in the PDF attached to this story) was released on the 7th of May to explain the delay - which was previously described as being due to "minor discrepancies in Mayoral figures". <br /> For more information, official statements, the results of the Mayoral Election and links for the London Assembly Members Election Results please find the PDF attached at the beginning of the story.<br /> <br /> London Mayoral Election 2016 Results:<br /> (Sources London Elects & Wikipedia)<br /> https://www.londonelects.org.uk/sites/default/files/Part%201%20Election%20of%20the%20London%20Mayor.pdf <br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_mayoral_election,_2016<br /> <br /> London Assembly Members Election 2016 Results:<br /> (Sources London Elects & Wikipedia)<br /> https://www.londonelects.org.uk/sites/default/files/London-wide%20Assembly%20Member%20results%202016.pdf<br /> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Assembly_election,_2016
