The Southwark Council by-election to replace outgoing Liberal Democrat Lisa Rajan’s seat in the Surrey Docks ward will take place on June 9.
Five candidates from the Conservative Party, Labour Party, the Green party, UKIP and the Liberal Democrats will join one independent candidate to contest the Rotherhithe seat.
Key issues the candidates have campaigned about include the Canada Water regeneration and the proposed Rotherhithe bridge.
The by-election was triggered after it was announced Lisa Rajan would stand down due to family commitments.

- Colin James Boyle – Green Party
- Craig Cox – Conservative Party
- John Hellings – Independent
- Will Holmes – Labour Party
- Toby Prescott – UKIP
- Dan Whitehead – Liberal Democrats
