The incumbent mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, has won re-election and will remain in office for a third term, Sky News reports.
In an election held in early May, Khan, who represents Labor, won 43.7% of the vote, while his Conservative rival Susan Hall won only 32.6%.
This is the first time in history that a London mayor will remain in office for three terms.
In early May, regional elections were held in the UK. According to the incoming data, Labor won a convincing victory. The Conservatives, on the contrary, showed the worst result in such elections for the last 40 years.
European media noted that the regional elections gave an insight into the balance of power in British politics ahead of the general election, which is expected to be held at the end of 2024.
