What time are the local and mayoral election results announced?
Rishi Sunak is bracing for another tough day after big losses.
Rishi Sunak is bracing for another tough day after initial local election results saw the Conservatives lose across the country, despite his party managing to cling onto the Tees Valley mayor.
On Friday, Keir Starmer hailed a "seismic" win in the Blackpool South by-election, where the party secured a 26.33% swing, Labour was also picking up council wins across the country.
The elections are being viewed as a test of Sunak's leadership. His party is languishing behind in the polls and his personal ratings are significantly behind Starmer's.
On Friday morning, the Conservative Party chairman appealed to Tory MPs to “wait through the weekend”, insisting Sunak is “the right man” to lead the party.
Key mayoral results coming up on Saturday include the results of the London mayoral race, in which Labour's Sadiq Khan is defending his seat against the Conservatives' Susan Hall - with polling suggesting it could be a close race.
Of the 2,636 councillor elections across 107 English councils, Labour and the Conservatives were each defending around 1,000 seats.
And with 102 of 107 councils called already, the Tories have suffered a big blow.
What time will the local election results be announced?
Every council taking part in the election will reveal their results when all their votes are counted. There is no uniform time when every result comes in. Most were announced on Friday 3 May, with the full count expected to be finished by Sunday.
The winners of the London Assembly and Manchester Council will be announced on Saturday afternoon.
What time will the mayoral election results be announced?
11 mayors are being elected across England this year, with the big ones in London, Manchester and the West Midlands.
Several of the regions are electing their first-ever mayor after the government vastly expanded the scheme in recent years. They are: East Midlands, York and North Yorkshire and North East.
