Sadiq Khan registered a decisive victory to secure a record third term as mayor of London, as the local election results from England and Wales continued to reflect a strong swing in favour of the Opposition Labour Party.
As per PTI report, The 53-year-old Pakistani-origin Labour candidate secured a massive 10,88,225 votes with a 43.8 per cent vote share, well ahead of the Conservative candidate Susan Hall’s 8,11,518 votes.
Delhi-born businessman Tarun Ghulati, contesting as an independent candidate among a total 13 mayoral candidates, trailed far behind in most boroughs.
Earlier, Khan’s own camp and the BBC had already called the election in favour of Khan as borough-wise results poured in for the UK capital to show that he was on course to beat his nearest Conservative Party rival, Susan Hall, with a strong voter swing in favour of Labour.
