The Mayor of the North East is a new role that will be voted on in May as a combined authority mayor that leads the North East of England.
The NEMCA, or North East Mayoral Combined Authority, will have a Mayor plus seven member councils with the vote taking place on 2nd May 2024.
Mayor is a key role that sees several functions that they will look over in the North East including:
- housing and regeneration
- education, skills and training
- the adult education budget
- the functional power of competence
- housing and planning, including mayoral development areas and corporations, land and acquisition powers
- finance, through council precepts and business rate supplements
- transport, including bus grants and franchising powers
Labour are currently the 1/2 favourites with William Hill to win the Mayoral Election in May with Kim McGuinness the candidate for the party for the role.

What the expert says...
Labour have a 66% chance of winning the North East Mayoral Election with the latest betting odds putting them as the clear favourites ahead of Jamie Driscoll!
Jamie Driscoll is the second favourite in the betting market
Jamie Driscoll is the current Mayor of the North of Tyne in a position that he has held since he won the 2019 North of Tyne mayoral election with 56.1% of the vote.
Driscoll was barred from the selection process to determine a Labour Party candidate back in June 2023 with various allies stating the decision was unfair.
This led to Driscoll resigning from the Labour Party and ultimately deciding to run in the 2024 North East Mayoral Election as an independent.
