The bookies have had their say on who they think will win the race to become Doncaster’s next mayor – with odds on all twelve candidates revealed.

Voters go to the polls on May 1 to choose a new mayor – with campaigning for votes being hotly contested across the city.

And if the bookmakers are correct, it will be Reform UK’s Alexander Jones who will be the city’s next mayor – he’s the current favourite wiith betting site Oddschecker.

The 30-year-old businessman and male model is currently priced at 1 / 2, – ahead of incumbent mayor, Labour’s Ros Jones, who is priced at 7-4.

The bookies have had their say on who they think will become the next mayor of Doncaster. Top row, from left David Bettney, Julie Buckley, Frank Calladine Second row, from left Nick Fletcher, Andy Hiles, Ahsan Jamil Third row, from left Alexander Jones, Ros Jones, Mihal Melenciuc Bottom row, from left Richie Vallance, Andrew Walmsley, Doug Wright.

Both are clear of third place, where Conservative Nick Fletcher comes in, priced at 6-1.

The bookmakers clearly see the contest as a three way race, with Alexander Jones, Ros Jones and Nick Fletcher all clear of the rest of the field.

Next up is Mihal Melenciuc of the Liberal Democrats, priced at a more distant 33-1 with Ahsan Jamil of the Workers Party of Great Britain tipped to take fifth spot with odds of 66-1.

A string of candidates are priced at 100-1 with Oddschecker, with independent Richie Vallance, Frank Calladine of the British Democrats, Andrew Walmsley of the Yorkshire Party and Julie Buckley of the Green Party all priced at 100-1.

Bringing up the rear are rank outsiders Andy Hiles (Trade Union and Socialist Coalition), Doug Wright (Health and Social Care Party) and David Bettney (SDP), who are all priced at 200-1.

A spokesperson for Reform UK said: “It is clear that Reform has the support of many across the UK and here, in Doncaster, we have a real chance to win both a majority Council along with a Reform UK Mayor.

“The Conservatives is a wasted vote in Doncaster. They cannot achieve anything with a Labour Government and a potential Reform UK council. Nor can they achieve a majority on our Council.

“Only Reform can realistically achieve both the Mayoralty and a majority council administration.”
