Labour's Sadiq Khan elected 1st Muslim London mayor

ABP News  

London: Sadiq Khan became London's first Muslim mayor Saturday, as voters rejected attempts to taint him with links to extremism and handed a decisive victory to the bus driver's son from south London. Labour Party candidate Khan received more than 1.3 million votes — 57 percent of the total — to Conservative rival Zac Goldsmith's 43 percent, after voters' first and second preferences were allocated. Khan's victory seemed certain for hours from partial results, but the official announcement came past midnight — more than 24 hours after polls closed — after delays due to what officials called "small discrepancies" in the count. Former Conservative strategist Steve Hilton told the BBC that Goldsmith's campaign had brought back "the 'nasty party' label to the Conservative party" — and said Khan's victory sent a "positive and powerful message about London."
