Sadiq Khan has been re-elected as London Mayor, winning a third term with 43.8% of the vote. Despite a dramatic contest, Khan defeated Conservative candidate Susan Hall, who appeared unimpressed during his victory speech. Khan acknowledged a "difficult few months" and a "campaign of non-stop negativity," but praised his team for responding with "facts, hope, and unity." With a turnout of 40.5%, Khan's win marks a historic third term as London Mayor. His team is confident after Labour took key constituencies from the Conservatives, solidifying Khan's position as a unifying force for London.
