Omilana stood as an independent candidate in the 2021 London mayoral election. His main election's manifesto was telling "Boris to shush". On May 6, the election took place with Omilana coming fifth with 49,628 votes (2%). The Guardian noted that Niko was joining part of a significant wave of new YouTubers who were turning to local elections.
