LONDON: Boris Johnson was re-elected mayor of Olympic host city London late on Friday to the relief Prime Minister David Cameron, after his Conservative Party took a beating in mid-term local elections.

Eccentric Johnson, famed for his dishevelled blond locks and gift for buffoonery, said he would "continue to fight for a good deal for Londoners" as he accepted a second four-year term just before midnight. "In just 84 days' time London will welcome the world," he said at City Hall in southeast London.

"The world will see a city that is going through a neo-Victorian surge of investment in public transport."

The 47-year-old won 51.5 per cent of the vote in a closely fought run-off with rival, Labour's Ken Livingstone.

Elsewhere, the Labour Party made big gains in the local elections at the expense of the Conservatives and their Liberal Democrat coalition partners

now Ken Livingstone has enough time to grow beard and become a spokesperson to Yusuf-al-Qaradawi

Didn't vote - the Mayor doesn't really have much power save for policing and transport - but if I did I would have supported Boris. Livingstone's campaign was doomed for failure from the beginning judging by all the negative publicity he's been getting much of it his own doing.

Looks like a convincing victory for the incumbent, Londoners have taken a real shine to Boris; some more than others.

It sucks that a Tory got power, although apparently this Tory isn't as bad as the rest. I'm not sure Livingstone would have been good for London either, although I do think people are prone to scare mongering too much when it comes to his 'Islam' issues.
