Which Indian origin businessman has been elected as Mayor of London Borough of Southwark for the second time?

Explanation

Sunil Chopra, a Delhi-born businessman, was elected as the Mayor of the London Borough of Southwark for the second time in May 2022. He previously served as the Mayor in 2014-2015, becoming the first person of Indian origin to hold this prestigious position in the borough. A member of the Labour Party, Chopra has lived in London for over 40 years and has been active in community work and local politics since 2010. His political roots trace back to Delhi University, where he served as the first president of the College of Vocational Studies in the 1970s. The other options are incorrect: Gautam Adani is a prominent Indian industrialist, Neeraj Patil served as the Mayor of the London Borough of Lambeth (not Southwark), and Sam Dalton is a local councillor but does not fit the description of the Indian-origin businessman elected for a second term.
