Full Recount in Coventry as Tories Trail Labour in Mayoral Race

May 4, 2024, 04:08 PM

A full recount is currently underway in Coventry for the West Midlands mayoral race, following a close contest between the Conservative incumbent Andy Street and Labour's Richard Parker. The recount, specifically requested by the Conservative team, was initiated after initial results showed the Tories trailing Labour by fewer than 3,000 votes. The process is expected to take several hours, with final results delayed as both parties await the outcome. This development follows a partial recount that was initially ordered for the region.
