With the North Tyneside Mayoral Election just days away, the betting markets with UK Betting Sites point to a decisive Labour victory. 

Karen Clark, the current deputy mayor and Labour’s candidate to succeed Norma Redfearn, is the clear frontrunner at 1/3 according to Star Sports.

What the expert says...
Labour’s dominance in North Tyneside is well reflected in the odds and Karen Clark looks very difficult to beat. However, with Reform and the Conservatives both polling competitively in other regional contests, it’s worth watching for late momentum or protest votes that could affect the final margin.

Who Are the Main Challengers?

John Falkenstein is currently second in the betting at 9/2 as the Reform party continues to field candidates across local and regional elections with increased media attention. 

While a long shot, his campaign message of “getting back to basics” has resonated with some voters seeking an alternative.

Liam Bones, the Conservative candidate, sits just behind at 5/1 campaigning on infrastructure, safety, and regeneration. 

Though the Tories face a national headwind, Bones could benefit from local name recognition and core voter turnout.
