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.
