Manchester council has a new deputy leader after shock departure
10.05.2024 - 13:23 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester has a new joint deputy council leader — Garry Bridges.
Coun Bridges, who represents the Old Moat ward, won out in an internal Labour election to replace Luthfur Rahman. Mr Rahman dramatically lost his Longsight seat at last week’s elections (May 2) to Shahbaz Sarwar from George Galloway’s Workers Party by 185 votes.
The result meant Labour had to find a new deputy leader to sit underneath council leader, Bev Craig, and existing deputy leader Joanna Midgley. Four councillors put themselves forward for the job: Garry Bridges, Shazia Butt, Yasmine Dar and Basil Curley.

Now, following Manchester Labour’s annual general meeting on Thursday evening (May 9), it’s been confirmed Coun Bridges has won out. Before the election, he held the position of executive member for children.
He also works for Labour’s Manchester Central MP, Lucy Powell, records show. His position will be formally confirmed at next week’s annual council meeting on Wednesday, May 14.
“Nobody wanted this contest for deputy leader but we are pleased to see Garry Bridges elected,” Coun Pat Karney, Labour Group Spokesperson, said.
“He has a terrific track record for his residents and particularly for children and young people. It was a friendly and comradely contest.”
The Labour meeting last night also saw another election, for deputy Lord Mayor. The holder of the role will serve under Coun Paul Andrews for the upcoming municipal year, before taking the top ceremonial job in 2025/26.
The winner of that three-way race was Coun Carmine Grimshaw, who beat competition from Coun Shaukat Ali, and Coun Mahadi Hussein Sharif Mahamed.
