The British Reform Party said that former prosecutor Laila Cunningham will run in the 2028 London mayoral election as the party's candidate. Currently, the populist group led by Nigel Farage is seeking to establish a base of support in the British capital. The party said on Wednesday that Cunningham moved from the Conservative Party to the Reform Party last year, and she will be the party's representative face in the May London local council elections. At the time of her surrender, she became the first member of the Reform Party in London and served on Westminster City Council. Although the Reform Party has led the national polls since April, it is still facing a tough battle for support in London — the party has no members of parliament in London and only received 8.7% of the vote in the 2024 general election. In the same year, its candidate for mayor, Howard Cox, received only 3.2% of the vote in London. Sadiq Khan has been the mayor of London since 2016. He has always been criticized by Trump, and Reform Party leader Farage is a friend of Trump.
