Daniel Korski, a tech entrepreneur and former government advisor, has reached unprecedented heights with his campaign to become the Conservative Party candidate for London Mayor.
Demonstrating widespread support, Korski’s campaign has secured over 500 endorsements from a range of prominent figures, including Members of Parliament, Peers, London’s business community, entrepreneurs, community campaigners, party members, and grassroots volunteers.
Supporters say Korski’s campaign stands out as a frontrunner in the London mayoral race, garnering the highest number of MP endorsements among all declared candidates. Distinguished figures such as Cabinet Minister Michael Gove have expressed his support for Korski, emphasising the transformative impact he can bring to the city. Gove stated:
“If you offer support to Daniel, you are helping to shape this race in the right way. Your support will help us transform and enhance the potential of this great city. You couldn’t wish for a better person to galvanise and to light up this race than Dan Korski. We need a wholly different approach to City Hall.”
In addition, senior Ministers including Tom Tugendhat, Johnny Mercer, Andrew Mitchell, George Freeman, Chair of the Foreign Affairs Select Committee Alicia Kearns, and Mayor of the Tees Valley Ben Houchen have all pledged their support to Korski’s campaign, further solidifying his position as the preferred choice for London’s future.
In addition to securing broad support, Korski’s campaign has achieved extraordinary success in fundraising. At an exclusive fundraiser hosted at a donor’s Mayfair residence on Monday, attended by prominent party donors, and in the presence of at least three billionaires, the campaign has already received substantial pledges totalling hundreds of thousands.
Korski supporters say this “impressive accomplishment highlights the unwavering commitment and confidence that supporters have in Daniel’s vision for London. It is a testament to the compelling nature of his campaign, irrespective of any other candidate’s efforts.”
As a tech entrepreneur and founder of PUBLIC, a company specialising in digital innovation, Korski is dedicated to harnessing technology for the betterment of London. His campaign is centred around utilising technology to streamline access to public services for Londoners. Korski says he also plans to establish a London Digital Corps, comprised of skilled coders and engineers, with the aim of improving accessibility and reducing costs for taxpayers. Furthermore, he says his comprehensive plans encompass increasing police numbers, implementing a minor crimes unit within the Metropolitan Police for community-centric policing, protecting London’s environment through smart transport tech, and addressing the housing crisis by building on disused TfL land in central London without burdening outer London boroughs.
Daniel Korski, Mayoral Candidate:
“London should be the city where dreams can come true. A city where vision, passion, and hard work are rewarded, regardless of your background. But after years of neglect, we have faltered. It’s time to turn The London Dream into a tangible reality. We need a fresh approach that embraces new ideas, new technologies, and a positive, entrepreneurial spirit.”
The Conservative party says it intends to announce its shortlist of three candidates on Monday June 12th.
