PM Shehbaz congratulates Sadiq Khan on his re-election as London mayor

Prime Minister Muhammad Shehbaz Sharif on Sunday congratulated Sadiq Khan on his election as Mayor of London for the third consecutive term.

The prime minister offered his heartiest felicitation to the newly elected Mayor Sadiq Khan ‘on his hat trick’, PM Office Media Wing said in a press release. 

As a hard-working British Pakistani, he not only raised the head of his parents high but also made every Pakistani to rejoice his victory with pride, he further observed. 

The prime minister further said that his re-election for the third term also indicated his popularity and his devotion to public welfare. He also expressed his best wishes for the future success of Sadiq Khan.

Pakistani bus driver's son, Sadiq Khan, made the country proud on Saturday after he secured the mayorship of London for the record third time, according to unofficial results.

Sources said the Labour candidate clinched the victory after defeating the Conservative Susan Hall in the elections.

However, the final results will be announced by the authorities soon.

It's pertinent to mention here that Sadiq Khan was elected the Mayor of London for the first time in 2016 against Zac Goldsmith, brother of Jemima Goldsmith.
