Reform's Andrea Jenkyns becomes Greater Lincolnshire's first mayor
Dame Andrea Jenkyn's has been named as Greater Lincolnshire's first ever mayor after winning the election today.
The former Conservative MP has won eight out of the nine districts to seal the victory.
Rob Waltham, the Conservative candidate, is second, with Labour's Jason Stockwood in third.
Turnout was around 29.9%.
Jenkyns will represent 1.1million people as leader of the Greater Lincolnshire Combined County Authority (GLCCA).
All of Lincolnshire had a say in the election, with people living in the Lincolnshire County Council, North Lincolnshire Council, and North East Lincolnshire Council areas voting.
Those three councils will stay in place - for now at least - but some of their powers will be devolved to the new mayor.
