"I say first, to the vast multitudes who voted against me, and I have met quite a few over the last nine months, not all of them entirely polite - I will work flat out from now on to earn your trust and to dispel some of the myths that have been created about me. And as for those who voted for me, I know that there will be many whose pencils hovered for an instant before putting their 'X' in my box. And I will work flat out to repay and to justify your confidence."

17. SOUNDBITE (English) Ken Livingstone, former mayor of London: +shot changes during soundbite+
"I'm sorry I couldn't get that extra few percentage points that would take us to victory and the fault for that is solely my own. You can't be mayor for eight years and then if you don't win that third term, say it was somebody else's fault. And I accept that responsibility and I regret I couldn't take you to victory."

19. SOUNDBITE Boris Johnson, new mayor of London:
"I do not for one minute believe, that this election shows that London has been transformed overnight into a conservative city. But I do hope it does show that the conservatives have changed into a party that can again be trusted. After thirty years, we are the greatest, most cosmopolitan, multi-racial, generous-hearted city on earth, in which there are huge and growing divisions between rich and poor."

STORYLINE:
An eccentric opposition Conservative lawmaker was elected as London's new mayor on Friday, heaping gloom on Britain's Prime Minister Gordon Brown, whose first test at the polls has brought his party's worst local election results in four decades.
The Conservative MP Boris Johnson became London's new mayor after ousting Labour's Ken Livingstone on Friday.
Johnson told Londoners he would "work flat out to repay and to justify your confidence."
His victory crowns an impressive set of results for the Conservatives in local elections held on Thursday in England and Wales.
Johnson said the result showed that "conservatives have changed into a party that can again be trusted."
Meanwhile, outgoing mayor Ken Livingstone apologised to his supporters for not securing a third term.
"I'm sorry I couldn't get that extra few percentage points that would take us to victory and the fault for that is solely my own," Livingstone said after the results had been read out.
For the Labour Party leader Gordon Brown the mayoral election result was another disappointment.
Dogged by accusations of dithering and incompetence Brown was forced to make a humble pledge to heed the scathing verdict from voters after his party lost London's City Hall and more than 300 municipal council seats.
