# Burnham is re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester

Date: 2024

## The fact

On 2 May 2024 [Andy Burnham](/people/andy-burnham) was re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester with 63.4 percent of the vote.

## Context

Voters produced the count. He was the incumbent. A certified re-election is a procedural event. Later Makerfield is a neighbouring 2026 civic event.

The 2017 first election is a neighbouring earlier civic event. The 2026 Makerfield by-election ended the mayoralty.

The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is head of His Majesty’s Government. Parliament writes statutes; the King appoints; combined authorities and departments implement; courts can stay a scheme. A prime minister can take an oath, announce everyday consumer fixes, and sit in Cabinet. He does not write a Greater Manchester by-law by himself after leaving the mayoralty, a UN resolution, or a Supreme Court judgment.

## Evidence and sources

Greater Manchester Combined Authority carries the official instrument or communique. BBC records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

The path is [democratic resilience](/drivers/democratic-resilience): a completed certified re-election is a procedural event.

## What is established and what is not

Established: a 2 May 2024 re-election of Burnham as Mayor of Greater Manchester with 63.4 percent.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

Returning officers counted. The combined authority seated him.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies Burnham is re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester, not a later speech about Burnham is re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. Burnham is re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester on 2024-05-02 is not a licence to treat every later Greater Manchester Combined Authority communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average Burnham is re-elected Mayor of Greater Manchester into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He was the winning incumbent. Returning officers counted. The combined authority seated him. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series. Parliament, the King, TfGM, GMCA boroughs, the NHS, and foreign counterparties share specific files. Allegation is not a completed judgment. A by-election is not a general election. A bus franchise is not a unique CPI coefficient. A GOV.UK profile is not a delivered poverty path.
