Sadiq Khan wins London mayoral election

Labour’s Sadiq Khan has won a third successive term as mayor of London.

Khan defeated his Conservative rival Susan Hall by more than 276,000 votes representing a swing of 3.2% to Labour.

He won nine of the 14 constituencies including two gains from the Tories. 

Speaking after his victory was declared at City Hall in east London, Mr Khan said: “It is the honour of my life to serve the city that I love.”

“I am beyond humbled right now,” he added. “It has been a difficult few months.

“We faced a campaign of non-stop negativity. I am proud we answered fearmongering with facts.

“It is truly an honour to be re-elected for a third term and an increased margin of victory. Today is not about making history it is about shaping our future.”
