Boris Johnson, London’s newly elected mayor, vowed to be a "mayor for all London" as he attended the Sikh New Year festival, Vaisakhi, in Trafalgar Square, BBC reported.

In his speech, Johnson revealed his mayoral plans for London, which he described as "a world within a city".

As he said in his address to the crowd, Johnson plans to make efforts to unite the city’s communities. This comes after his election rivals said about Johnson that he is a divisive figure and couldn’t represent the English metropolis which is home to more than 8 million people.

Johnson, 43, a Conservative Party candidate, won 1,168,738 first and second preference votes during an election day in which the Londoners achieved a record turnout of 45%.

Johnson, a former magazine editor, joined the Vaisakhi celebrations at the Trafalgar Square as numerous journalists crowded around him. As he said, his intention was to support events that bring people together.

"I'm going to be a mayor for all London and I'm going to work to unite communities," was Johnson’s main idea.

According to his aides, the first thing he will do as London’s mayor will be to start working on important pledges such as 440 police community support officers on the Tube and trains, weapons scanners at stations and a review of the western zone of the congestion charge.

The new mayor also said that he will make efforts to earn the trust of those who opposed him during the campaign and also of those who hesitated before giving him their vote.
