Sadiq Khan is the new mayor of London. Khan is the son of Pakistani immigrants. He is the first Muslim elected as mayor of a major Western capital. Khan, a civil rights lawyer, was the British Labour Party candidate. He won 57 percent of votes in local elections last week to defeat Zac Goldsmith of the rival Conservative Party. In his acceptance speech, Khan said he never dreamed someone like him could be elected mayor of London. “I want every single Londoner to get the opportunities that our city gave to me and my family. The opportunities not just to survive, but to thrive ” After his election, Khan received a number of congratulations on social media. One came from American Hillary Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination. Clinton wrote: “Son of a Pakistani bus driver, champion of workers' rights and human rights, and now Mayor of London. Congrats.”
