Labour's Ros Jones has won a fourth term as the mayor of Doncaster.

She received 698 votes more than Reform's candidate Alexander Jones.

The Conservatives finished in third, and the Greens were fourth.

After being elected as mayor of Doncaster for a fourth term, Ros Jones said:

"Once again, Doncaster has bucked the national trend, beaten the polls and returned a Labour mayor.

"The people of Doncaster have spoken. They saw through the division and misinformation, putting their faith in me once again.

"This is an historic day for Doncaster, and for me - being re-elected for a fourth term."

Ms Jones continued: "I will, of course, work with the government to deliver investment, jobs and growth to Doncaster.

"But I will continue to hold them to account where necessary.

"I am the directly elected mayor of Doncaster. My priority, first and foremost, will continue to be the residents and businesses of Doncaster."
