Richard Parker chosen as Labour West Midlands mayor candidate

Richard Parker has been selected as Labour's candidate for West Midlands mayor in 2024.

Members voted in favour of Mr Parker over Birmingham City councillor and regional Victims' Commissioner, Nicky Brennan.

In a tweet, Mr Parker said he was "humbled" to have been selected.

The former PwC partner will take on incumbent mayor, Conservative Andy Street, who has held the position since the role was created in 2017.
