Summary
The Green Party has launched a bold challenge in Greater Manchester’s mayoral by-election, officially naming Geraldine Coggins as their candidate just days before the July 30th vote. A seasoned local councillor and longtime Green voice, Coggins is stepping into the race as the Greens frame it as a “Hope Vs Hate” showdown against Reform UK — a battle they’ve already won in local elections, including a recent by-election victory. Labour, meanwhile, insists it’s a two-horse race with Reform, touting public transport wins and warning that without a clear vision from leader Keir Starmer, they risk losing the mayoralty entirely — while still searching for their own candidate.
