London election: Sadiq Khan looks set be city's first Muslim mayor

ABC  

The opposition Labour candidate Sadiq Khan has a strong lead in final polls before London's mayoral elections on May 5, putting him on course to become the first Muslim leader of a European Union capital. Key points: London to vote in new Mayor on 5 May Muslim Labour candidate Sadiq Khan well ahead in polls Campaign marked by negative campaigning After a bad-tempered campaign, two surveys on Wednesday gave the son of a bus driver a lead of up to 14 points over Zac Goldsmith, his multimillionaire rival from Prime Minister David Cameron's Conservative party. Mr Khan's lead lengthened once second preference votes were taken into account, to 57 per cent against Mr Goldsmith's 43 per cent. A second poll, by ComRes for LBC radio and ITV London news, put Mr Khan on 45 per cent and Mr Goldsmith on 36 per cent on first preference votes, moving to 56 per cent and 44 per cent on second preferences.
