LABOUR S Tracy Brabin was announced as West Yorkshire’s first ever metro mayor on Sunday, calling it “an honour I can’t put into words”. It follows weeks of campaigning for the mayorality, which saw her go neck-and-neck with Conservative candidate Matthew Robinson, winning on second-preference votes. Ms Brabin, who is currently MP for Batley and Spen, said work would “start tomorrow”, before reiterating her manifesto pledges for extra police officers and jobs for young people. The Labour candidate took 261,170 of first preference votes out of 617,782 ballot papers in total. Her closest challenger, Conservative candidate Matt Robinson took 176,167 votes, while the Yorkshire Party’s Bob Buxton came a surprise third place with 58,851.
