Khan has now become arguably the most powerful Muslim to hold elected office in Europe, The Guardian writes.

In his victory speech to praise London for resisting Goldsmith’s scaremongering, saying:  "This election was not without controversy and I’m so proud that London has today chosen hope over fear and unity over division. I hope that we will never be offered such a stark choice again. Fear does not make us safer, it only makes us weaker, and the politics of fear is simply not welcome in our city."
