  • Andrew J Boff (born 14 April 1958) is a Conservative Party politician. Born in Uxbridge, Boff is a former IT consultant. He was active in politics as a member of the Young Conservatives and was elected to Hillingdon London Borough Council in 1982 as one of three councillors representing Cowley Ward. In 1986 he was elected in the Hillingdon West Ward, and was re-elected in 1990. He was leader of Hillingdon council from 1990–92, when the Labour Party won control at a by-election. At the 1992 general election he was Conservative candidate for the Hornsey and Wood Green constituency. The Conservatives had held the seat since its creation in 1983, but Boff lost the seat to the Labour Party. In 1994 he ran for election to the European Parliament at London South Inner, coming in a distant second to his Labour Party opponent. In 1999 he again stood for the European elections, which were fought under a system of proportional representation. Although the Conservatives did well, Boff was too far down the party list for Greater London to be elected. Boff moved to Hackney. He stood in a council by-election for Queensbridge Ward in June 2001 but came third. He stood as Conservative candidate for directly elected Mayor of Hackney in 2002 but was defeated. He was unsuccessful in his attempt to be elected to Hackney council on the same date, coming seventh in Haggerston Ward. In 2004 he stood for election to the London Assembly in the North East Constituency that includes the London Borough of Hackney. He came third, behind Labour and the Liberal Democrats. In January 2005 he won a seat on Hackney council in a by-election at Queensbridge Ward, but lost it when the next council election was held in May 2006. He stood for Mayor of Hackney, again without success, in 2006. In the 2008 London Assembly elections he won a "London-wide" seat for the Conservatives on the "top-up" party list system. He had put forward his name for nomination as the Conservative candidate for Mayor of London but lost to Boris Johnson. He made a third unsuccessful attempt to become Mayor of Hackney in 2010. He held his assembly seat in 2012 and 2016, and has been leader of the Conservative Group since 2012.
