Former Green Party co-leader Siân Berry has stood down from the London Assembly just three days after she was re-elected.

She has served on the Assembly since 2016 and is the prospective parliamentary candidate in Brighton Pavilion, currently the seat of the Green Party’s only MP, Caroline Lucas.

Ms Berry previously said she would only leave City Hall if elected as an MP.

Announcing her departure from the Assembly yesterday, she said: ‘My work holding a Labour Mayor to account means I am ready to do the same with a new Prime Minister, and I am looking forward to spending even more time in Brighton, listening to what matters to people here.’

Hackney councillor Zoë Garbett, who was the Greens’ candidate for London mayor in last week’s elections, will immediately replace Ms Berry on the Assembly, joining two other Green members.

Ms Berry said: ‘Zoë has shown how much of a difference she will make in City Hall, listening to Londoners and bringing their voices into the political debate.

‘That’s why she needs to be in this job as soon as possible.’
