Bev Craig has clinched the Greater Manchester Mayoralty in a stunning comeback for Labour, turning early doubts into a landslide victory. With just over a quarter of voters participating, Craig surged from 47% on first count to a commanding 66% after second preferences were counted — a win that’s more than just politics; it’s a relief for Labour after fears of losing the seat entirely. Already Manchester City Council leader and deputy mayor, Craig campaigned on bold promises: free bus passes for all teens, 50,000 new homes in 15 years, and £20 million to revive high streets. Meanwhile, Reform UK stumbled with 21%, Greens fell short at 12%, and Lib Dems lost their deposit — making Craig’s mandate not just strong, but decisive. She’s now ready to lead with purpose, proving she’s the candidate Manchester needed — and wanted — to step up.
