Sadiq Khan was declared the winner of London’s mayoral election on Saturday, becoming the first person to be elected to the office for the third time.
“Thank you, London,” Khan wrote in a post on X. “It’s the honour of my life to serve the city I love. Today is not about making history, it’s about shaping our future. And I’ll work relentlessly to shape a fairer, safer, greener city for every Londoner.”
Khan, the incumbent running with the center-left Labour Party, secured nearly 44% of the vote, about 11 percentage points better than Conservative and Unionist Party nominee Susan Hall. Liberal Democrat Rob Blackie and Zoe Garbett of the Green Party each garnered 5.8%.
