Labour’s Mayor Race in Manchester | San Francisco News
Description
Manchester voters head to the polls today to choose a new mayor — a pivotal moment for Labour as they test their strength after Andy Burnham’s historic leap from city hall to No. 10. Burnham, who stepped down as mayor to become Prime Minister, is backing his handpicked successor, Craig, in a race against seven rivals — including a Reform UK candidate promising a fresh, business-led approach to neglected towns. With a preferential voting system in place, the outcome could hinge on second-choice ballots. Analysts see this as a make-or-break election for Labour in a traditionally loyal stronghold — and a chance for Burnham to prove his party’s resilience as he leads nationally.
