The Mayor of Greater Manchester is the directly elected mayor of Greater Manchester, responsible for strategic governance in the region that includes health, transport, housing, strategic planning, waste management, policing, the Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and skills. The creation of the Mayor of Greater Manchester was agreed between the then Chancellor of the Exchequer, George Osborne, and Greater Manchester's 10 district council leaders. As well as having specific powers, the mayor chairs the Greater Manchester Combined Authority, also assuming the powers of the Greater Manchester Police and Crime Commissioner.
Tony Lloyd was appointed as Interim Mayor for Greater Manchester in May 2015.[4] The first Greater Manchester mayoral election took place on 4 May 2017[2] and was won by Andy Burnham, who was subsequently re-elected for a second term in May 2021[5] and for a third in May 2024.
