Sadiq Khan Signals 2028 Re‑Election Bid, Rules Out Return to Parliament

His comments land as a new survey shows strong backing from Labour members and Reform UK intensifies a London push ahead of May’s borough contests.

Overview

  • Sadiq Khan said he has “already worked out” his 2028 City Hall campaign and a plan to handle both Count Binface and Reform once the race begins.
  • He explicitly ruled out seeking to be an MP again, telling LBC he had served in Parliament for 11 years and does not want to return.
  • A City Hall spokesman said Khan has not announced whether he will stand again, noting he typically decides later in the electoral cycle.
  • A Survation poll for LabourList reported Khan as the most popular metro mayor among Labour members, with a favourability rating of +74.
  • Reform UK’s Laila Cunningham is framing May’s London borough elections as a first referendum on Khan’s record as the party seeks council gains in the capital.
