All the results and what you need to know from the North West local elections 2024

  • Professor of Politics at Liverpool University Andrew Russell and ITV Granada Reports Political Correspondent Andrew Misra discuss Friday's election results and what it could mean

Counting is underway after many cast their vote in the local elections to choose local councillors, metro mayors and police and crime commissioners.

Results show Labour gains across the region, however the party lost control of Oldham after a backlash over its stance on Gaza.

However George Galloway failed in his bid to - in his words - "wipe Labour off the council", in Rochdale, as he looked to follow up his recent by-election win.

The North West region had the highest number of local elections in England with 459 council seats at stake.

In all but two of the 22 councils where ballots are being held, a third of seats were up for election.

In Warrington and Rossendale the full council was up for election.

Has Labour's stance on Gaza lost the party North West councils?
