He styled himself as an “anti-woke” campaigner.

Apart from the two main contenders from the leading parties – Labour, Conservatives – all other candidates lost their money.

Now, more than £170,000 will be used by London Elects to defray costs of running future elections.

Sadiq Khan from Labour kept his position as London Mayor.
