Andrew Tate recently ignited a significant conspiracy theory, alleging that Sadiq Khan manipulated the London mayoral election outcome by exploiting immigrant votes.
Khan secured his historic third term as mayor of London by defeating Conservative candidate Susan Hall with 43.8% of the vote in a closely contested race.
The 53-year-old mayor has received praise for initiatives like implementing free school meals for primary school students in London. However, Khan has also faced criticism for his perceived leniency towards Islamist ideologies and his handling of rising knife crime in the city.
After the election results, Andrew Tate, a polarizing social media influencer known for his frequent criticisms of Khan, took to social media to voice his conspiracy theory. Tate accused Khan of orchestrating a scheme to mobilize illegal immigrants to vote and suggested that no genuine Londoner supports the Labour Party leader.
In his post, Tate claimed,
“Sadiq Khan didn’t win the #LondonMayorElection. They bring in unlimited immigrants so they can blame the ‘immigrant votes’ when they rig the election. Find someone who voted for Sadiq. I dare you. FIND ONE! In ALL of London.”
He continued with inflammatory remarks, stating,
“THERE ISN’T A SINGLE UNDOCUMENTED MIGRANT WHO GIVES A SH*T ABOUT VOTING. They’re busy trying to get the rest of their family in to r*pe the taxpayer.”
It’s important to note that Andrew Tate’s credibility has been questioned due to his controversial statements and legal issues. Tate and his brother Tristan Tate are currently facing serious charges in Romania, including allegations of rape, human trafficking, and involvement in criminal enterprises exploiting women.

Regarding London’s knife crime, Tate previously shared a video capturing an incident of a knife threat in London. According to a Statista report, knife-related offenses in London have increased significantly in recent years, reaching the highest recorded numbers since 2019-2020.
While Tate’s accusations against Sadiq Khan are unsubstantiated and controversial, they highlight ongoing debates and concerns surrounding London’s political terrain and public safety issues.
