Conservative Paul Bristow wins Cambridgeshire & Peterborough mayoral contest
Bristow won with a majority of more than 10,500 over Reform's Ryan Coogan
Paul Bristow has won the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough mayoral contest with a majority of more than 10,500 over Reform's Ryan Coogan, with Anna Smith third for Labour, Liberal Democrat Lorna Dupre fourth, and Green Bob Ensch fifth.
It means the Conservatives regain the post, which they took in 2017, with Labour winning four years ago.
The Conservatives said Paul Bristow's mayoral victory was a "significant win" after a "very difficult night."
A party spokesman said: "On a very difficult night, this is a significant win for the Conservative Party.
"Paul Bristow will be a fantastic local champion, working hard to deliver the lower taxes and better services the residents of Cambridgeshire and Peterborough deserve.
"Labour previously held this mayoralty and won two new MPs in the region last year, so for Paul to win today shows how Kemi Badenoch's Conservatives are already making inroads into the Labour vote.
"Coming on the back of losing the previously safe Labour seat of Runcorn, as well as council seats in regions with large numbers of Labour MPs, this result is likely to increase concerns in Labour over Keir Starmer's faltering leadership."
