Andy Street re-elected as Mayor of the West Midlands | Central

Credit: ITV News / PA Images Street, representing the Conservative Party, won after first and second preference votes were combined, after he failed to secure a 50% or more majority in the first round of voting. Ballots have been counted at the Utilita Arena in Birmingham all day - with the Tories snatching victory for the second time running in the West Midlands Mayoral contest. Street won the first and only election to become the West Midlands Combined Authority Mayor in 2017 - by the narrowest of margins - winning by less than one percentage point. This year s battle was expected to be close-fought between the Conservatives and Labour, but after a day of defeats on Friday, victory for Andy Street today seemed almost inevitable. The Tories had already achieved massive success across the Black Country - with the party already winning enough seats to take overall control of Dudley Council.
