Steve Norris is the Tory candidate for the London mayoral elections.

The former transport minister saw off Roger Evans when the result of a postal ballot was announced on Sunday.

He has vowed to scrap the congestion charge if elected.

Steve Norris, was announced on Sunday as the party's official candidate, said the £5-a-day charge to enter the capital was going to be a "disaster".

Iain Duncan Smith appeared alongside the victorious mayoral candidate on Monday at Smithfield market in London.

Norris, who a millionaire businessman, has made scrapping London's congestion charge his top campaigning priority.

"The congestion charge has cost London over £200 million and it is going to be such a disaster; hopelessly administered and displacing congestion," he said.

Norris will go head to head with Ken Livingstone and Labour's candidate Nicky Gavron.

He claims the goodwill that brought Livingstone to City Hall has now evaporated.

"An awful lot of people in London who were quite enthusiastic about the idea of an independent like Ken Livingstone are saying, 'Ken, what have you actually achieved?' And the answer is not a lot," he said.Norris said his other key plans would be to make London safer and "easier to get around" and to cut "all the political posturing we have seen during the past couple of years".
