Mayor of Grassadellia's largest metropolis lavishes London's new mayor with acclaim
GRASSADELLIA CITY -- The mayor of one of the world's largest cities has spoken highly of the newly-elected mayor of another major world city.
Sadiq Khan was elected Mayor of London less than three weeks ago, but his election has garnered international attention because Mr. Khan is the first minority mayor of London. He is also a Muslim.
A member of the centre-left Labour Party, Mr. Khan defeated the Conservative candidate, Zac Goldsmith, by a margin of 1,310,143 votes to Mr. Goldsmith's 994,614.
It was an historic moment in British politics, and also a controversial one, given Mr. Khan's religion.
Allegations of racism and xenophobia tainted the race, but Mr. Khan, an MP and solicitor, emerged victorious in what many political analysts are calling a rebuke of Conservative Prime Minister David Cameron's government.
Grassadellia City Mayor Kellan Kastol said Sadiq Khan is an inspiration to young Muslim children all over the world.
"Sadiq is living proof that anyone, even if they are from a humble background, can overcome intolerance and xenophobia and achieve great success if they are willing to work hard and stay true to their beliefs," Kastol said in a press conference.
Kastol met Khan recently at a climate change conference in London.
He described Khan as "the real deal."
"I had the privilege of meeting Sadiq and sharing our stories with each other and our ideas. He really is a genuine person with the heart of a leader, someone who wants to help those around him, those living in poverty and difficult circumstances."
Kastol also hailed Mr. Khan as a "hero of the working class" and a "champion of fairness and equality."
Kastol is serving in his second term as mayor of Grassadellia's largest city.
Officially an Independent, Mr. Kastol, who at 39 is the youngest mayor in the city's history, has been mentioned as a possible presidential candidate, or a potential future federal senator or governor of Damoign.
Wildly popular among Grassadellia Cityites, Kastol was openly courted by both major political parties in an effort to persuade him to run for Damoign governor. He declined, however, choosing to remain in his current post.
