Sadiq Khan has secured a third term as London's mayor, as announced by Labour Party sources on Saturday. This victory comes after a series of local elections held across England, reaffirming the dominant position of the main opposition party.
Initial results from various boroughs indicated that Khan was set to defeat Conservative candidate Susan Hall, further solidifying his leadership in the capital since 2016.
The recent wins for Labour across England have positioned the party strongly to potentially seize power from Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party in the upcoming general election expected in the near future.
Despite Labour's successes, Sunak managed to secure some victories that may help him maintain his leadership position, which was under threat from dissenting members of the Conservative Party depending on the outcomes of Thursday's elections.
