Stewart notes 12-month delay to election in withdrawal statement.
Independent Rory Stewart has announced he’s dropping out of the race to be London mayor.
The election, which was due to take place this month, has been moved to 2021 due to coronavirus.
It is with sadness that I have decided not to run in the postponed London Mayoral election next year. Thank you to all who supported me, engaged with the campaign and shared my vision of all London can achieve. pic.twitter.com/yF4loR2nvL
