Sadiq Khan elected as Mayor of London for a third consecutive time

During the course of the day it seemed to become even more exciting in London. Last night it was announced that the turnout was 40.5 percent, 1.5 percent lower than in 2021. A low turnout traditionally favors the Conservatives.

Several analysts also pointed out that voters were required to carry ID to vote this time. Many young people cannot afford such an ID, while it is young people who mainly vote for Labour.

Khan’s environmental policy, with the expansion of the low emission zone, was also difficult for many voters. But in the end it turns out that this was not detrimental to Khan.

It has never happened before that a London mayor can start a third consecutive term of office.
