Żyliński had declared ahead of the election that he was running for mayor of London “to provide a strong voice to the Polish community, because I believe that they do not get the credit they deserve for the significant contribution they make to this great city.” The election was won by Labour Party candidate Sadiq Khan, the son of Pakistani immigrants, who became London’s first Muslim mayor.
