Reform UK is tipped to win three key mayoral elections as voters take to the polls today. Nigel Farage's party is the favourite to win in Doncaster, Greater Lincolnshire and Hull & East Yorkshire, according to Star Sports.

William Kedjanyi, Political Betting Analyst at Star Sports, said: "All eyes are on Reform UK to see how many of today's six mayoral elections they can win. Four existing mayoralties and two new ones are up for grabs, and we think Nigel Farage's party will claim three - priced at 4/5.

"Olympic champion boxer Luke Campbell is expected to deal his rivals a knockout blow in Hull & East Yorkshire (1/5), while Andrea Jenkyns already looks to have one foot in the door in Greater Lincolnshire at immensely short odds of 1/20. Labour candidate Ros Jones (2/1) could challenge Reform's Alexander Jones (1/2) in Doncaster, however."

It comes as a total of 1,641 council seats are up for grabs across 23 town halls in today's local elections, while four regional mayors and two local mayors will be elected.
