Sadiq Khan Sworn-In as London Mayor Saturday May 07,2016

Sadiq Khan was on Saturday  May 07,2016 sworn-in as London's mayor after he won by a record margin to become the first Muslim to occupy the top post as he hailed his victory as a triumph of "hope over fear and unity over division."

Sadiq Khan, the son of a Pakistani bus driver, beat Conservative Zac Goldsmith with 57 % votes -- the largest mandate of any British politician in history -- marking the return of Labour rule to the UK capital after eight years.

Sadiq Khan was officially sworn-in as the new mayor of London at a multi-faith ceremony in Southwark Cathedral.

The first Muslim mayor of the British capital received a standing ovation as he walked into the hall after he won 1,310,143 votes to beat his nearest Conservative rival Goldsmith.

"Good morning. My name is Sadiq Khan and I'm the mayor of London. I will be a mayor for all Londoners," he said, before signing his declaration of office.

Sadiq Khan is the third person to become the elected mayor of London, after fellow Labour politician Ken Livingstone and Conservative Boris Johnson
