Who is this?
Zoë Garbett is a British politician who has served as a member of the London Assembly for the Green Party since May 2024 and Mayor of Hackney since 2026. She was the Green candidate for mayor of London in the 2024 mayoral election. She was fourth on the Green Party's list for the London Assembly and was not elected; however, Siân Berry resigned to focus on her bid to get elected as an MP for Brighton Pavilion. This allowed Garbett to take her place. Garbett currently serves as Leader of the Green Party on Hackney London Borough Council, as well as the councillor for Dalston ward since May 2022. She ran for Mayor of Hackney in the 2023 by-election. Garbett was elected mayor of Hackney in the 2026 Hackney mayoral election, making her the first directly elected Green Party mayor in the party's history.
