| Description | Boris Johnson has become the most powerful Conservative politician in the land after pulling off an overwhelming victory in the contest to become Mayor of London.
His triumph capped an outstanding set of local election results for the Tories, and suggests David Cameron is well on course to become Prime Minister in two years’ time.
The final declaration was delayed as record turn-out led tellers to continue counting ballots well into the evening.
Mr Johnson’s victory was in part secured as a result of the increased numbers who took to the polls, as his team’s successful “doughnut strategy” of wooing natural Tories in the outer boroughs who in the past failed to vote in London elections proved devastating for Labour. |
