London Mayoral Election

Sadiq Khan won the London Mayoral Election, comfortably beating Zac Goldsmith in May 2016.

The Labour candidate got 57% of the vote in the second round of voting to replace Boris Johnson at City Hall.

As he takes charge, the big issues he has to prioritise are the housing crisis in the capital, rising tube fares and police cuts.
