London: Sadiq Khan secured his place as London's mayor for a historic third term after a tense electoral battle, prevailing over Conservative candidate Susan Hall with 43.8% of the vote.
Sadiq Khan acknowledged the challenges of the recent months, highlighting a campaign marked by relentless negativity. He commended his team for countering fearmongering with facts, hate with hope, and divisive rhetoric with unity.
He expressed these words during his victory speech on Saturday.
However, he faced criticism and jeers on the occasion.
Khan emphasized his commitment to all Londoners, including those who didn't support him, his rival Susan Hall maintained a stoic demeanor throughout his speech, visibly expressing disapproval.
Khan, aware of the polling suggesting a comfortable lead, urged Labour supporters and indifferent Londoners to participate, framing the race as a "close two-horse race."
Despite a slight decrease in voter turnout compared to the previous election, Khan's team gained confidence as Labour secured victories in key constituencies, bolstering their belief in a successful outcome.
Prior to the election results, Labour leader Keir Starmer expressed confidence in Khan's victory, viewing the mayoral race as a crucial milestone on the path to the general election.
