Chamali Fernando, 28, is a party activist and barrister from Finchley and daughter of Sumal Creasey Fernando, a solicitor advocate, who made political history by becoming the first Sri Lankan to contest a parliamentary seat, Leicester West (SDP), in 1983.

She decided to stand for London mayor to "give something back" to the city. Ms Fernando, a Theravada Buddhist, said: "This is my party's opportunity to support me and make history to create the news by electing the first female Asian mayoral candidate. On any platform I will look and sound different."
