Sadiq Khan Appeals for Votes Amid Voting System Change Fears

London's Mayor Sadiq Khan seeks support from Liberal Democrat and Green voters to counter the impact of the new first-past-the-post voting system in the upcoming Mayoral election.

• Sadiq Khan warns that changes to the voting system could result in a Conservative victory in the London Mayoral election.
• Khan appeals to Liberal Democrat and Green supporters, asking them to 'lend him their votes' to ensure a progressive victory.
• The new voting system, introduced by the Conservative government, eliminates the option for a second preference vote, intensifying the race.
• Khan's campaign includes a 'love letter' to potential supporters, urging them to vote for him to protect London's progressive values.
• More than 900,000 Londoners could be unable to vote due to the new requirement for photo ID, according to the mayor's office analysis.
