Top Green to leave City Hall after 16 years
AM Jenny Jones won’t contest mayoral vote
GREEN peer Jenny Jones revealed yesterday that she will step down as a London Assembly Member after a 16-year stretch at City Hall.
She and the Greens’ only other AM Darren Johnson will not seek re-election in next May’s London elections, the pair announced before nominations for mayoral candidates close today.
Ms Jones achieved her party’s best-ever result in London when she stood for mayor in 2012, finishing third with 92,000 first-preference votes.
