Tags: Boris Johnson, Ken Livingstone, Mayor London, United KingdomLondon Elects Conservative Boris Johnson Mayor.
Mr Johnson is an ex-magazine editor well known for his TV chat show appearance and media rows over his outspoken comments, he has unseated Labor Mayor Ken Livingstone in London. In the multiparty election, Johnson led in first-choice votes 43 percent to 37 percent. Under the rules, the second-choice votes of those who did not vote for either of the first two candidates are added to their totals. This slightly reduced Johnson’s margin: Expressed as a percentage of total first- and second-choice votes for the top two candidates, Johnson won 53 percent to 47 percent. By way of comparison, Livingstone led Conservative Steven Norris by 36 percent to 28 percent in first-choice votes in 2004. See official results.
