Here are all the reasons why we think Londoners will definitely vote for Sadiq!

He is  the best option for the next Mayor of London, and if he were running in Pakistan, I’m sure all of us would be voting for this multi-talented politician. We can’t wait till Sadiq gets elected and we get to see the insane desi party that will take place in London, get ready for bhangra in Trafalgar Square Londoners!
