Summary
Ms Craig was the favourite and won after a second count, over coming Sian Astley from Reform UK with 309,525 votes to 157,178. However, it still took more than 13 hours from verification beginning to the result being declared. The result was announced late on Friday night, more than 24 hours after polling stations closed, in a comfortable win, although with a low turnout.
Furthermore, Only one in four of the more than two million eligible voters across Greater Manchester cast ballots as Ms Craig defeated Reform UK’s Sian Astley in the second round of this election - the first electoral test of Mr Burnham’s premiership. Moments after she was announced as the new mayor, Ms Craig said she was 'honoured, humbled and ready to serve the three million people that live across this fantastic city region'.
