Sadiq Khan’s win ‘bucks trend’ of Muslim voters rejecting Labour over Gaza, say party figures

Resounding victory in London mayoral race came despite media reports suggesting it would be a close contest

Sadiq Khan's election victory as London mayor has bucked the trend" of Muslim voters turning away from Labour over the party's stance on the war in Gaza, party figures said.

The 53-year-old won a third term as the capital's mayor on Saturday, without seeming to have lost the support of large numbers of Muslim voters - unlike Labour candidates elsewhere in England last week.
