Islington, London – July 2, 2025 — Godson Azu, Convener of the Annual London Political Summit and Awards, met with the newly elected Mayor of the London Borough of Islington, Cllr. Jason Jackson in preparation for the forthcoming 10th annual London Political Summit . The meeting, held in the Mayor’s Parlour at the Council Town Hall, was to apprise the new Mayor of the historical role which his borough and predecessors had made to the hosting of the debut and past editions of the summit and to further inform him of this year’s edition of the summit and the hosting partnership sought from the borough.

A key highlight of the meeting was the Mayor’s affirmation of support for the upcoming event. Mayor Jackson confirmed that the Council would host the prestigious Mayoral Session of the summit on October 16, 2025, within the historic Council Chamber. The session is expected to welcome high-profile political and business leaders from both the UK and Africa, reinforcing the summit’s role as a bridge between nations and a platform for dialogue on governance, leadership, and development.

Speaking after the meeting, Mr. Azu expressed his enthusiasm: “We are absolutely delighted by the Mayor’s warm reception and his commitment to supporting the 10th Anniversary of the London Political Summit. Islington Council has been a partner since our very first edition, and it is only fitting that we celebrate this milestone in the very borough where it all began.”

The 10th edition of the London Political Summit and Awards promises to be a memorable occasion, reflecting on a decade of dialogue, diplomacy, and impact. Islington Council, here we come – for what will be an exciting and historic celebration this October.
