Last week Thursday there was a vote to decide who will be the next Mayor of London. The winner of this election was Sadiq Khan and he says that he will make London a better place.
Sadiq Khan is the first muslim Mayor of London. The new Mayor did not have a privileged start in life. He was one of eight children born to Pakistani immigrants, a bus driver and a seamstress.
Mr Khan beat Conservative Zac Goldsmith, by 1,310,143 votes to 994,614, which is the same as a margin of victory of 13.6%. That means Mr Khan got more votes than all the other previous mayors.
After his victory, he gave a moving speech. He said, “My burning ambition for our city, that will guide my mayoralty, is to ensure that all Londoners get the opportunities that my city gave to me.”
