When did he run for London Mayor?
In April 2021, Niko announced that he would be running for London Mayor.
On April 2, 2021, he shared a video on Instagram urging his (then) 1.1 million followers to vote for him in the 2021 London Mayoral Election.
He said: "I'm Niko Omilana, founding father and supreme leader of the Niko Defence League and I am running for mayor of London.
"As you can see I'm taking this extremely seriously, everything up until this moment has been a warm-up, a light jog, a walk in the park but now we are about to take the nation's biggest city.
"There is no greater leader in this country than me so please my friends, vote Niko for mayor of London on May 6th…or your breath stinks!
"Make sure you are registered to vote as well, you don't want to miss out on this one."
He shared his full manifesto to Twitter which included telling Boris Johnson to "shush" and outlined his plan to rename Big Ben.
While Omilana was not elected as mayor, he did come fifth, beating out some much bigger names in politics, like Laurence Fox and Piers Corbyn.
