BREAKING: Sadiq Khan re-elected as London Mayor after beating Tory rival Shaun Bailey
The race has been much closer than people thought, considering some in Bailey’s own party had written him off, while a Labour source said turnout and voter complacency could be a problem.
Khan’s re-election campaign has focused on jobs, with an emphasis on promoting tourism and investment to help the 300,000 Londoners who lost work during the pandemic. Khan’s victory will come as welcome news to Labour following humiliating losses elsewhere across the country. The party also failed to topple Tory mayoral incumbents in the Tees Valley and the West Midlands, although did produce a surprise victory in the West of England mayoral contest and comfortable wins in Greater Manchester and the Liverpool City Region.
