Quick Facts Appointer, Precursor ...

The office was established in 2002 following a referendum the previous year in which governance by a directly elected mayor was favoured over a cabinet system. Another referendum in 2012 produced the converse result, and the office was abolished in May 2013.[1]

Drummond was first elected in 2002[2] and was re-elected in 2005[3] and 2009.[4] Drummond was the first mayor in Britain to win a third term.[4]
