History
The directly elected mayoralty was created following a referendum on 2 May 2002 in the London Borough of Hackney.{{cite web |url=http://www.hackney.gov.uk/l-elections-2.htm |title=Hackney Referendum - 2002 |publisher=Hackney Council |date=16 June 2010 |accessdate=12 January 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130515154159/http://hackney.gov.uk/l-elections-2.htm |archive-date=15 May 2013 |url-status=dead }} 70.1% of voters supported changing the executive arrangements of Hackney London Borough Council to a directly elected mayor.
The inaugural mayor was Jules Pipe of the Labour Party who was elected on 17 October 2002.{{cite web |title=Mayoral elections |url=https://hackney.gov.uk/mayoral-elections |website=Hackney Council |access-date=30 June 2022}} He was re-elected in 2006, 2010 and 2014.
Pipe was succeeded by Philip Glanville, who was elected mayor at a by-election on 15 September 2016. Glanville was re-elected in 2018 and 2022.
On 15 September 2023, Glanville resigned, with effect from 22 September, following a scandal when he was photographed together with his housemate and Labour Party councillor Tom Dewey the night after he was arrested for child pornography charges. Tom Dewey was convicted before Glanville resigned. {{cite news |last1=Reaidi |first1=Joseph |title=Hackney mayor resigns after photo with paedophile councillor |url=https://www.hackneygazette.co.uk/news/23792545.hackney-mayor-resigns-photo-paedophile-councillor/ |access-date=21 September 2023 |work=Hackney Gazette |date=15 September 2023}} A by-election was held on 9 November to fill the remainder of the term,{{cite news |title=Hackney mayoral election announced as review launched |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-66953505 |access-date=29 September 2023 |work=BBC News |date=29 September 2023}} and was won by Caroline Woodley, a Labour councillor for Cazenove ward.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-london-67379332 |title=Hackney mayor: Labour's Caroline Woodley elected |date=10 November 2023 |accessdate=24 January 2024 |work=BBC News |publisher=BBC}}
