North East mayoral election results in full

North East voters have made history by electing the region's first ever mayor.

The new mayor of the North East will represent around two million people across Tyne and Wear, Northumberland and County Durham following a multi-billion pound devolution deal with the Government. The deal gives the region new funding and decision-making powers and is of huge significance to its future.

Six candidates were in the running to become the first mayor of the North East, and below we have the results in full for each of them both overall and by area.

The six candidates were: Labour’s Kim McGuinness, Conservative Guy Renner-Thompson, Independent Jamie Driscoll, the Green Party’s Andrew Gray, Liberal Democrat Aidan King, and Reform UK’s Paul Donaghy. Kim McGuinness won with an overall majority in every area that made up the vote: Northumberland, County Durham, Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, South Tyneside and Sunderland.
