West Midlands Combined Authority - The Mayor
The Mayor of the West Midlands is a directly elected political post who chairs the West Midlands Combined Authority, covering the local authorities serving Birmingham, Coventry, Dudley, Sandwell, Solihull, Walsall and Wolverhampton.
The most recent election took place on Thursday 2 May 2024. Richard Parker took his post as Mayor after defeating former encumbent Andy Street by 1,508 votes.[3]
The previous election was delayed for a year due to the COVID-19 pandemic,[4] so the inaugural mayoral term was extended by a year, with the second term length being reduced to three years between 2021 and 2024. The Mayor's term of office will return to four years from 2024 thereafter.[5]
