Following the highly anticipated elections held on Thursday, May 2, Londoners witnessed a historic moment as Sadiq Khan secured a record-breaking third term as Mayor of London. After hours of vote counting, Khan’s victory was confirmed, marking a significant milestone in the city’s political landscape.
Khan first assumed office as Mayor of London in 2016, succeeding former Mayor Boris Johnson. His re-election in 2021 further solidified his position, and now, in 2024, Khan’s triumph cements his status as the longest-serving Mayor in London’s history, surpassing the tenures of both Boris Johnson and Ken Livingstone.
