As the London mayoral election approaches, incumbent Mayor Sadiq Khan leads the polls with a 22-point advantage over Conservative candidate Susan Hall, according to a recent YouGov survey that shows Khan at 47% and Hall at 25%. The Labour Party is actively campaigning across the city, emphasizing Khan's policies such as free school meals, fare freezes on Transport for London (TfL), and housing initiatives. Meanwhile, Hall has faced criticism for her associations with controversial figures and extremist views, which has sparked significant backlash. The final days of campaigning are marked by intensified efforts from both sides to mobilize voters ahead of the polling day.
