Sadiq Khan 'set to win London mayoral race'

Sadiq Khan looks set to become the new Mayor of London - boosting Labour after it slumped in Scotland's elections.

Mr Khan, who would be the city's first Muslim mayor, is on course for victory over Conservative Zac Goldsmith.

The result would bolster leader Jeremy Corbyn after Labour were beaten into third in Scotland by the Tories and lost English councillors.

In Scotland, the SNP said it would form a minority government after winning its third election in a row in Scotland.

First Minister Nicola Sturgeon is celebrating what she said was an "emphatic" victory, her first as party leader, after the SNP emerged as the largest party at Holyrood with 63 seats, ahead of the Conservatives on 31 and Labour on 24.

But she played down talk of another independence referendum after falling short by two seats of an overall majority.

In Wales, Labour remains as the largest party, with 29 out of 60 seats, but was denied a majority as Plaid Cymru and UKIP both made notable gains. Counting is continuing in Northern Ireland although it has been a good day so far for the DUP and Sinn Fein.

Mr Khan's expected victory would end nearly a decade of Conservative control of City Hall. The former Labour MP and minister, 45, would become London's third mayor after Mr Johnson and Ken Livingstone.

Although the result has yet to be declared he got 44.2% of first preference votes to Mr Goldsmith's 35.6% - second preference votes are now being counted with Mr Khan set to pass the crucial 50% mark when they are added in.

Mr Khan distanced himself from Mr Corbyn during the campaign, pledging to freeze fares on the capital's transport network and build more affordable housing, but also promising to champion business and cut taxes on enterprise.

His victory follows a controversial campaign in which the Conservatives were accused of trying to smear Mr Khan by accusing him of sharing a platform with extremists - tactics defended by ministers but questioned by some in the party.

What's his stance on Ind-Pak issues specifically Kashmir? Is he indifferent like most Britishers?

He visited a Hindu temple and says he is a fan of bollywood on the other hand he was with Jeremy Corbyn before in protesting on Modi, that bastard Corbyn does not like Modi

Nobody talks about Kashmir here its not a political issue , here it's housing, education, policing, terrorism etc

But Khan said one thing I found out only later i gave my vote he said he wants to tax Indian households for their gold, sala iska bap ka mal hai?

Look I will show you something funny

Why did Indians vote for him? I bet he couldn't have won without their support. Indians are the largest immigrants in London, right?
 
I voted for him because he comes from a humble background and seems a good man, the other guy is a elitist

If only young muslims in Europe would look up to him,the mayor of Rotterdam instead of the Abdelsalam types....Everybody gets a chance in here,despite many PDF-ians claiming otherwise.

That other guy was doing a smear campaign to woo the Indian votes but we did not believe him, Khan is a better Mayor for everyone. But he ain't getting my gold :angry:

I know the funny thing is most people I know did not even vote, nobody cares even it seems.
