Gathered behind me here, and we are waiting at this Convention Centre in birmingham for the official final declaration, so at the moment all we know is that Labour Sources are saying that they have won. If that is the case, that would be a huge coup for the party and for sir keir starmer, the incumbent conservative mayor andy street is still hoping, it has been hoping for a third term here, and it was very fought race, and throughout the day, both partys sources have been telling me that they believed it was a knife edge, they believed it was a knife edge, the result here. But as we are hearing from the labour party now, they believe they have pulled it off, and Richard Parker, their candidate, has won. I was down on the floor five minutes ago, Richard Parker was down there as were other members of the labour party, Jess Phillips mp as well. They had all just go down on the floor, we didnt really know why, but they all seemed fairly positive. Could that have been the first sign before

We ran a campaign that was in keeping with the spirit and values of this great city. 0ur Political Correspondent leila nathoo gave us this update from city hall following the announcement. If you look all the way through the campaign, the Opinion Polls were always in sadiq khans favour and evenif always in sadiq khans favour and even if you remember that the results didnt actually get started counting until this morning, so any speculation was really wildly off the mark so counting started this morning but as soon as the first results came in, it was very clear that sadiq khan was looking in a pretty good place because he had already proved in the first two boroughs that he was capable of attracting more votes to the labour party than he did last time. As the day went on, and more constituencies declared, it was pretty obvious sadiq khan had actually increased his support and won a very comfortable victory. It would have been a hailjab set i think if susan hall had got anywhere near cl

Anyone who was in the valley was just swept away. Nine other people who live directly on the coast are gone, ma
