The London mayor has secured a second tenure beating his rival Shaun Bailey with a significant margin. Mr. Sadiq Khan from the British Labour Party beat his opponent from the Conservative Party by a margin of 10percent votes, once the second preference votes were also accounted for.

Besides London, the party won other mayoral races, including Steve Rotherham in the Liverpool City Region, Andy Burnham in Greater Manchester and Dan Norris in the West of England region, which includes the city of Bristol.
