Sadiq Khan als Londoner Bürgermeister wiedergewählt

In London hat sich Bürgermeister Sadiq Khan wie erwartet eine dritte Amtszeit gesichert. Der Politiker der sozialdemokratischen Labour-Partei setzte sich bei der Kommunalwahl in der britischen Hauptstadt gegen seine konservative Konkurrentin Susan Hall durch, wie die Wahlkommission am Samstag mitteilte. Der 53-Jährige kam demnach auf 43,7 Prozent der Stimmen, seine Herausforderin erhielt 32,6 Prozent, wie der Sender Sky News berichtete.

Khan ist seit 2016 das erste muslimische Stadtoberhaupt der Millionenmetropole. Mit seiner Wiederwahl ist er der erste Bürgermeister, der sich eine dritte Amtszeit an der Stadtspitze sichern kann. Daher war in britischen Medien auch von einem „historischen Erfolg“ die Rede. Der Sozialdemokrat hatte im Wahlkampf unter anderem versprochen, Schulmahlzeiten künftig kostenlos anzubieten sowie die Nahverkehrspreise einzufrieren. Er will 40.000 neue Sozialwohnungen schaffen und es bis 2030 schaffen, dass Obdachlose nicht mehr auf den Straßen schlafen müssen.

Für Kritik hatte gesorgt, dass Khan die Umweltzone, die sein Vorgänger Boris Johnson für die Innenstadt eingeführt hatte, auf das gesamte Stadtgebiet ausdehnte. Besonders Pendler und Handwerker beschwerten sich, dass sie neue, teure Fahrzeuge anschaffen mussten. Laut Umfragen hatte er zuletzt keine berauschenden Popularitätswerte. (APA/dpa)
