Sadiq Khan re-elected as Mayor of London
I therefore declare that Sadiq Khan has been duly elected as Mayor of London. It’s been a difficult few months. We faced a campaign of non-stop negativity, but I couldn’t be more proud that we answered fear mongering with facts, hate with hope and attempts to divide with efforts to unite. We ran a campaign that was in keeping with the spirit and values of this great city. A city that regards our diversity not as a weakness but an almighty strength, and one that rejects right hard wing populism and looks forward, not back. It’s truly an honour to be re-elected for a third term and to do so. To do so with record levels of support from Londoners, with an increased margin of victory.
