Sadiq Khan has been re-elected mayor of London, winning a historic third term in a dramatic contest. Khan secured victory over the Conservative candidate, Susan Hall, on Saturday afternoon, with 43.8% of the vote. He took to the stage to give his victory speech after the result was announced. 'It's been a difficult few months. We faced a campaign of nonstop negativity,' Khan said. 'It's the honour of my life to serve the city that I love and I'm beyond humbled right now'
• This text was amended on 6 May 2024. Sadiq Khan won 43.8% of the vote, not 61.2% as an earlier version said.

London is not British Anymore. We need to take back our country.
So many people who don’t live in London commenting here to complain about the state of a city they don’t live in…
So?
The city is falling apart. Why aren't you bothered by that?
@@TheJibbajabba12 Where do you live in London and what makes you believe it is “falling apart”.
@lenaoxton8827
Answer my question first, mate!
Why aren't you bothered about the state of London.
@@TheJibbajabba12 Because I like living here, crime rate has decreased and is lower than most other U.K. cities, I love that I can get the bus for so cheap to work. For sure there’s issues, rent prices, housing prices, knife possession for young lads. All those things bother me but they’re not simple problems with simple solutions. Overall I like living here.
@@TheJibbajabba12 Now tell me where you live in London and what problems do you have where you’re living? Why are they so bad that you perceive London to be falling apart? How long have you lived here and how has it changed for you?
Those that voted him in deserve what they get…
While those of us who didn't get to vote have to suffer.
The people who are breathing the dirtiest air in london is on the underground 😅
Isn't Mr Khan responsible for that ?
People is a plural noun....
Why is it so dirty?

LONDONERS never complain again about anything this man does.. shame on you
Londoners didn't vote for him
@@stevenelliott5403they are the only ones who can vote aren’t they?
This is a scam!
Booo! Not my mayor.
@@stevenelliott5403wtf are you talking about
London is no longer a British city anymore so I am not suprised
The whole time I was watching Susan Hall's expressions 😅
Yes hilarious 😂 you can almost hear her laying an egg!
no way are the people in the comments who hate sadiq this much are from london
Why do you hate, him more.
London? They’re mostly not in the UK 😂
@@Tamarlane389 where am I from?
@@Alexander-uj5pbwhy don’t you tell us where you’re from, Comrade
you're right. people around the world that used to respect London now see it as a joke because of him
Well done London . Hope you'll be happy with your future.
Delusional 🤡
That's true.
😅. What future? The one where they can't get to work and lose their job. And the wife legs it, and you lose your house. Should be a interesting 2 months. Still. Nice fresh air. So every cloud.
London can now be officially called Londistan!
You're all moaning, but I i bet most of you didn't even vote.
if you don't live in London, you CAN'T vote.
They didn't vote because they mostly don't live in London.
Milton Keynes, Dunstable, Harlow.. not London
Most of these are trolls online they not even real. Check the study that shows how online trolls bots a payed by Israel to target people of collor religion they dont like as well as political view. In the real world we just want to get along not religious or racial devides
I did. In London. For him ❤
@@elodieridesagain3018. It was not a general election. It was not about voting Tory or Labour . It was about voting for an efficient mayor who has the interests of ALL the citizens on London. Khan is clearly not that man. To make the city richer at the expense of the poorer people. He has not improved the crime rate and has given the green light to the socialist RMT union by jacking tube prices by a whopping 37%! Wait until he introduces the pay by mile scheme. His imposition of of ULEZ was anything BUT democratic
Susan Hall looking incredibly graceless.
She was completely unsuitable as a candidate.
@@graemelyall937 Agreed. Why she was ever allowed to run is baffling.
Sadiqs’ victory speech is hardly gracious just spends it calling opponents far right and divisive when he’s one of the most divisive politicians in the country
@@rprobp186 which speech was that? Not the one I was listening to about one hour ago when he became mayor of London for a third time.
She looks in shock. Like I am...
Lots of people who don’t live in London wondering why he was voted in and saying London is lost. Why are you so bothered?
Racists
Always racists
Init. He's obviously doing something right 😂 people think Khan has personally caused constant knife crime. Like people are being killed 24/7 left right and centre. Knife crime is an issue all over the country, London gets the hyperfocus because it's the capital
Probably because their countries is run by strong leaders with a brain, and they just find it assuming how the UK cannot get anything right.
@@Papito_UKMust be so easy to reduce everyone who disagrees with you to an 'ist' or a 'phobe'
It's a lazy tactic many people are now seeing through, thankfully
Anger at seeing Britain's capital decay?
Congratulations!!! 🎉🎉
London is not safe Mr K💭Have u not noticed💭
It wasn't safe 30 years ago. Did you not notice? I did
Blame that on parents who haven't been raising their kids right.
@@taekwanlewAfrica was terribly dangerous 30 years ago, it's much safer now, so what?
What about the sewage in the Thames? Sums up the state London is in!
that is the repsonsibility of a privatised water company, blame thatcher for selling it to a load of bankers.
Khan and his type are the sewage, flooding London!
its not in the thames its in the buildings alongside it
its called the government
Nothing is ever khan's fault,it's always someone else to blame 🙄 no point in having a mayor then if he's not responsible for any problems.@@clive373
That’s your responsibility. Greenpeace and all
We all know why he was re-elected right….
Because he got the most votes?
Because of demographics. Demographics is destiny.
Elite: by what strange intelligence do you have information which is not available to most of us?
@@bobagorofmore like religious fanaticism.
@@aurimaspuscius7175 did a different candidate get more votes?
He's quiet humble for some one who won through a technicality
Knife crime is so high And all he want is money from vehicles
Susan Hall shakes her head lol she is in denial to the end.
She has a right to be disappointed but was wrong candidate
Probably the last time we will ever hear of her again.
@@Alexander-uj5pbwe can hope
If you listen really carefully, you can hear her laying an egg😂
@@chriswood7794 a serpents egg.
Over eighty percent of Londoners didn't vote for him.
With a turnout at exactly forty percent... and almost half of that turnout voted against him.
It's a dubious honour... in saying you've a mandate from the people of London to be mayor.
Just keep on voting for these people, you deserve everything that is coming to you, that's for sure...!!!
What? Breathable air and cheaper buses?
Got to be rigged
Why do you say that? Where’s your evidence?
Yes, Count Binface was robbed
It's unbelievable
Well done London to make right decision
I see many people using that word, I do not think that it means what you think it means!
😂😂😂 triggered
Drinking your tears.
He won as he was only deserving Congratulations Mayor Sadiq🤲🏻👏🏻
Susan Hall is about to burst into flames. 😂
For those of u who didn't vote. Shame on u. He will continue what he started
It wouldn’t be you, you’re not in London or in the UK. When is your shift over?
Yes definitely, making London better.
Yes he will. To make London a better place. Congratulations Mayor Khan.
@@andyinthewatford7025 hear hear
London reminds me of Iran in the 70’s
come on that is too much
@@chillout914 its not. go look.

Ok Mr Kipling 😂
is that where you used to spend your holidays?
Are you ready for 4 more years of Sadiq Khan ??
Alhamdolillah
Yes, are you?
NO😭
Yes
Yes he's brought peace, hope, prosperity and sarcasm 🙂
To be honest any person who stands up to the abuse that seems to come from the challengers, has my vote every time.
Totally agree. 👏
so you're not actually thinking about policies, truth, or any of those things. gotcha.
Right to abuse khan. He's a disgusting mayor
Corruption at its finest.
PROVE IT OR SHUT UP
Lol yeh right "corruption". 😂
how so?
Call it democracy
Well the fact that I’m a Londoner and I never knew it was election time says all you need to know, also the choice was very slim, it was a racist or a mad man 🤷🏽♂️ I choose not to vote In the end simple because there was no other choice, I’d call that corruption and finally, all you have to do is ask, ask some of your friends who they voted for. I guarantee you it wasn’t for Saddiq
As a Labour voter I dont like Sadiq Khan just because he has expanded ULEZ money grabbing thing. In my opinion someone from Labour party would be better than him only if we could replace him.
How is it money grabbing? If the scheme works he gets no money.
Think about it.
@@andyinthewatford7025 The scheme isn't working the people don't want it. Which is why it's being destroyed by citizens.
It’s a fix😢 Susan hall should have one
Àn example of the failure of London
What area of the city you live?
What about the failure of the country which sunak is continuing on
Did you vote?
all the stabings in london how has he been voted in again
Do you think if Susan Hall had won, stabbings would end? This is pure delusion
Remind us who was London mayor when the tottenham riots happened in 2011...
A: same person who introduced ULEZ.
Majority stabber population
hahaha yeah cause hes the one stabbing everyone. or maybe the parents of the verim doing the crimes could bother to raise their kids right... just a thought
The tories cut police numbers
I loved the sour grapes 🍇 Hall did ...shaking her head petulant like...cos she ain't bovvered like. Seriously just enjoyed seeing Tories peed off, losing....the rest is just noise. 😂
Are we that blind in London to vote for Khan again? What has he done for the past 8 years? London is getting worse.
Obviously majority of votes were for someone else then Khan. I'm surprised though how many voted for him. Must be all the gangstas, bike thief, and those who have "business" in it.
@@sadhubodhi1458 Calm down the racism mate
Everywhere's gotten worse, that's what happens with austerity, let alone the complete tomfoolery of the Brexit we were cursed with and Covid as the cheery on top.
@@lamppost7218facts
blame the tories, they imposed austerity. I bet you won't though.
As an irish person im glad he got back in because of the hate he gets from the so called patriots / bigots . The guy shouting at the back go for a lay down kid .
Grow up.
Agreed.
The End of London is nigh.
oh no... anyway
You don't live in London...
Worry about yourself...
And you are High 😂
Be careful ....we need power rangers
it has been a laughing stock for years already
it doesn't even look like London now
the end has come and gone, now it is merely an echo
How. Just how??
it's called voting, people go to a polling station and put an x next to the name of the person they want.
just like they did for the thieving tories the last 14 years.
Voting and democracy is involved. Try it sometime
Apparently less than 50% voted..
So basically the ones that actually wanted to partake in democracy and voted were the ones in support of khan. The other half thought that the UA-cam comment section counted as voting
@nadakbar I don't live in London anymore because of the cesspool it's become. Don't patronise me as this is my country and I have been here all my life. I've seen how London has changed for the worst and can see how he only appeals to a certain type of person, mainly not native.
Great man again, who care about people
To all Londoners you deserve everything you get, reelection of this guy is all down to you so never complain about anything he does ever again!
Not all Londoners voted for him ..🤬🤬
Yes I feel for those that voted against him.
There is no such thing as a perfect mayor, if Susan hall or some of the other candidates became mayor they would be things that Londoners are not gonna like it's just how it is.
There has been no viable alternative to vote for!
Hall would have won if three million more of you got off the couch. Don’t complain - you had a chance and you blew it.
do you have a crystal ball?
Maybe they did, but given how thick they'd have to be to vote for her, the bottom of the nasty party barrel, they weren't able to cast valid ballots.
But to vote they would need to leave the comments section and more importantly their mum's basement
Comment section is filled with Indians disguised the Harry from. So, the voting results are never same as commentators.
@@nadakbar true
How on earth did this happen??
its a fix,got to be
check london majority population by nationality and answer will come soooooo dark😅
If you don't like it leave.😂😂😂
@@algijura Majority are English and Asian nationlities so ?
Democracy....
People of London sure do love knife crime 😂
Delusional
ah yes because khan is the parent of all the kids growing up committing those crimes... oh wait
For a group of people always talking about personal responsibility you all sure do love to pass the buck all the time.
You mean the knife crime that was higher under the Tories???
You should probably reflect on how this bs doesn't work now.
@@laidbackkodiakYeah all those machete fearing parents that should "stop watching the wire" like the ones who just lost their son in Hainault? I don't think Khan is promoting knife crime I just think he doesn't care.
He loves the City, but not the people that live in it!
Well done Sadiq. So relieved that racist Susan Hall is out of the picture.
lol and he isn’t racist. Sit down.
@@PhilWilliam-hx6xhI saw him on LBC accusing her of bet dangerous. Even people on the right are saying the Tories should have chosen a non-white candidate because of tribalism; I sn’t that racist to white people? I’ve never cared about race - why are they making it about that?
just made me sick
The West Midlands result wouldn't help you much then🤣🤣
Shocking from the folk of London !!!!!!
who do you think constitutes the majority of london?
@@ceferistul05 exactly the issue right there
sadiq won respect democracy
ulez was introduced by boris johnson
This is the end of the London. He will finish what he started. Violent crime, pulling money from public companies to his own gain and taxing the Londoners. This is truly the end of this great city.
I understand must be painfulul
‘The’ London.
Great city 😂
40% of people voted- That's not overwhelming support. No other viable alternative for Londoners to vote for. No one wants to take over, it's going to take years to clean up the mess he's made of our capital city.
Sadiq khans London - A man has died after he was stabbed during a ‘fight’ on a residential street in east London.
Hate no just people want him gone, this is a joke how much did he pay to keep his job.ust be a mason.
I think it's about time we got rid on the London mayor altogether, it's just a waste of money
lol just beacuse hes brown your being bis towards him its telling
If the Tories get back in again in the future (yes, I said if, not when), they'll probably abolish it along with the assembly. They abolished the GLC in the 80's because they couldn't deal with an alternative power base they didn't control.
@@Waseem_Amin talk about being myopic geeze. no people don't dislike him for his skin but his values
What a joke. How can this man call himself a mayor?
he just looks at all the votes he got - for the third time running mind so he's clearly doing something right for the majority of Londoners and can indeed proudly call himself Mayor!
@@julesc1665I wonder what demographic voted for they/thing
@@pinballwizard666 do you? or are just trolling? That's rhetorical obviously...
@@julesc1665 You're right. I know exactly what bunch voted for they/thing.

THIS MUST BE A FIX. HE SHOULD NEVER BE THERE AGAIN
Get out of your bubble, your a very vocal minority.
Defiantly a fix

Ready to vote Labour in the GE 🎉
thats another 5 years on 100k a year and only ulez to twiddle with. what a job
Congratulations 🎊 👏🏼 🥳Sadiq. London have said what they want👏🏼 Let haters keep hating ! You go ahead💪🏼 💪🏼 doing what you do best 👍🏼 😍
How? I don’t understand, surely anyone would be better. Shame on us.
All the people outside of London mad. As someone who actually voted, an actual Londoner, this is who we wanted. ULEZ won deal with it
I’m so happy for ulez, nice to have clean air. People outside London have no idea.
No one says this. This is sadiq khans paid team lol. Not one person agrees with ulez😂😂your a dodgey guy khan
Just unbelievable. The UK really is dying before our very eyes.
but that has nothing to do with government, of course ...
How?
No, just the right wing wet dream version of it.
Whine, whine, you should write for the Express
Totally agree -- UK dying before our very eyes --14 or so years of weak, indecisive corrupt Tory government and pathetic ministers has done us. Soon to change when tories are removed.
