Following the election Andrew McIntosh the leader of the Labour Group was replaced by Ken Livingstone, a member of the party's left-wing. This was the last election to the GLC. The Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher soon decided to abolish the council in the mid-1980s. Following the abolition of the GLC, there was a direct election to the Inner London Education Authority in 1986. Electoral arrangements The GLC was elected from 92 single-member electoral divisions which were identical with the Parliamentary constituencies in Greater London. The election date was fixed by section 43 of the Local Government Act 1972 as the first Thursday in May. Councillors were elected for a four-year term. This was extended for an extra year in 1984 when the elections that had been scheduled for 1985 were cancelled.Local Government (Interim Provisions) Act 1984 http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/53/pdfs/ukpga_19840053_en.pdf live legislation.gov.uk https://web.archive.org/web/20101217230807/http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1984/53/pdfs/ukpga_19840053_en.pdf 17 December 2010 Results The leader of the Labour GLC group Andrew McIntosh led the party into the election.
