The Mayor of Liverpool, Cr Ned Mannoun has been returned to office.

“I am honoured and humbled by the overwhelming show of community support and pledge myself to serve all the residents of Liverpool City,” Councillor Mannoun said.

“Democracy is an important and vital part of western society.  It allows the people to have their say in who shapes their future.

“The most important thing is that the people have spoken and have selected the community leaders they want.  The people voted for a clear plan and we look forward to delivering on the plan.

“I congratulate all the Councillors who have also been elected and thank the unsuccessful candidates for their desire to contribute to our wonderful city.

“I look forward to working harmoniously and productively with the new Council to achieve the best possible outcomes for the city, its residents and those who do business here.”
