Labour mayor’s lead over Tory rival has narrowed in week before mayoral election in the capital
mayor said there were concerns that low turnout among younger voters would allow a Tory mayor to “sneak in” to City Hall.
There appears to be a big age divide in voting intention, according to the Savanta poll. It found about 54% of 18- to 34-year-olds in the capital plan to support Khan, but 53% of Londoners aged 65 and over intend to support Hall.With less than a week to go before the election, Khan said he was “worried we could be looking at a repeat of the Brexit referendum and the Trump victory in 2016, where young people wake up shocked because they didn’t make their views heard at the ballot box”.
He added: “We need to protect London’s values, London’s diversity and everything that makes our city so special. The Savanta poll put the Liberal Democrat candidate, Rob Blackie, and the Green candidate, Zoë Garbett, on about 9-10% of the vote., the current way of doing things just is not working. I will appoint a women’s commissioner to make sure we sort this out.
