The Conservative Party has closed applications for candidates seeking to represent the party in the race for London mayor, narrowing the field to four hopefuls.
The selection process marks an important step for the party as it looks to put forward a candidate for the next London mayoral election, following previous attempts by Conservative candidates to win the position.
Each of the four remaining candidates will now go through further stages of the selection process as the party works toward choosing its official nominee. Details of the specific candidates and their respective platforms are expected to become clearer as the selection process continues.
The outcome of the Conservative selection process is likely to shape how the party positions itself in a mayoral race that has in recent years been dominated by other political parties, with the party seeking to rebuild its competitiveness in London politics.
As the selection moves forward, attention will turn to how each of the four hopefuls distinguishes themselves and what policy priorities they intend to bring forward as the party's eventual candidate for the city's top elected office.
