Sadiq Khan was elected mayor of London, winning a historic third mandate following a dramatic competition, writes The Guradian.

Khan was declared the winner of the Conservative candidate, Susan Hall, on Saturday afternoon.

The London mayor had described the battle as a “close race between two horses” when opinion polls predicted he had a 25-point lead over his Tory rival, in what appeared to be an effort to galvanize Labor loyalists and more Londoners. apathetic to vote.

According to London Elects, which manages the London mayoral and assembly elections, turnout was just 1.5% lower than in 2021, at 40.5%. Bexley and Bromley, led by the Conservatives, had the highest turnout in the constituency, with 48%.

These mayoral elections marked the first time that voters were affected by the changes to the electoral system that were introduced by the conservatives. It was turned into a first-past-the-post contest and people now have to show photo ID at polling stations, both measures that were expected to affect the Labor vote.
