Labour’s Sadiq Khan was won a third term as Mayor of London, beating off a weak and divisie challenge from Susan Hall, the Conservative candidate.
Labour’s Sadiq Khan is all but certain to win a third term as Mayor of London, elections expert Professor Sir John Curtice has told the BBC.
If so, Khan has beaten off a weak and divisive challenge from Susan Hall, the Conservative candidate.
Khan was first elected the Mayor of London in 2016. A few months later he became one of the most prominent opponents of Brexit.
Born in Tooting, South London, to a British Pakistani family, Khan was a lawyer before becoming a Member of Parliament.
Following his successful election in 2016 he argued online and in inteviews with President Donald Trump.
Khan was re-elected as Mayor in May 2021.
His main opponent was Susan Hall officially named as the Conservative Party candidate for the Mayor of London election at the Battle of Britain Bunker in Uxbridge, London, on July 19, 2023.
The 2024 election was heralded as a close one partly of the victory of the Conservative candidate in last year’s Uxbridge by-election which was supposedly fought—and lost—on Khan’s expansion of London’s ultra-low emissions zone (ULEZ).
