Sadiq Khan wins third term as mayor of London

London Mayor Sadiq Khan won his third term as mayor by over 276,000 votes on Saturday, according to reports.

He has won nine of the 14 constituencies and there were over 2.4 million votes cast, according to the BBC.

Khan's Conservative party rival Susan Hall congratulated him on his victory and said that campaigning for mayor was an honor.

"I will continue to hold Sadiq to account for hard-working families, motorists and women," she said. "I urge Sadiq to make London better for all our sakes."
