London, United Kingdom: Britain's main opposition Labour party on Friday claimed victory for its candidate Sadiq Khan as mayor of London ahead of the formal announcement of final results.
"Congratulations Sadiq Khan. Can't wait to work with you to create a London that is fair for all!" Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn wrote on Twitter.
Goldsmith accused Khan of supporting Muslim extremists in a campaign that was widely criticised, including by members of Goldsmith's own Conservative Party.
Other mayors including Anne Hidalgo in Paris and Bill de Blasio in New York quickly congratulated Khan.
