Sadiq Khan's Third-Term Victory Praised by PM Sharif

London Mayor Sadiq Khan received congratulations from Prime Minister Shahbaz Sharif for his successful third-time reelection. The Prime Minister praised Khan's dedication to public service, highlighting his aptitude and commitment. Khan's victory in the recent local elections has made all Pakistanis proud, according to the statement.

The local elections in England, including council, mayoral, and parliamentary by-elections, took place on Thursday. These elections serve as a crucial test before the upcoming general election, expected later this year. The Conservative Party, led by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, faces significant pressure as polls indicate potential heavy losses. The Tories, in power since 2010, are defending numerous seats won in the 2021 local elections.

Despite consistent polling showing the Conservatives heading towards defeat in the general election, the recent local elections have intensified the political landscape in England. Sadiq Khan's reelection as Mayor of London stands out as a significant achievement, garnering praise from leaders across the globe.
