History
The directly elected mayoralty was created following a referendum on 2 May 2002 in the London Borough of Hackney.[1] 70.1% of voters supported changing the executive arrangements of Hackney London Borough Council to a directly elected mayor.
The inaugural mayor was Jules Pipe of the Labour Party who was elected on 21 October 2002.[2] He was re-elected in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
Pipe was succeeded by Philip Glanville, who was elected mayor at a by-election on 15 September 2016. Glanville was re-elected in 2018 and 2022.
On 15 September 2023, Glanville resigned, with effect from 22 September, following a scandal when he was photographed together with a suspected paedophile.[3] A by-election will be held on 9 November to fill the remainder of the term.[4]
