The upcoming local and mayoral elections are poised to impact Rishi Sunak, with key battles in the West Midlands and Tees Valley where Conservatives currently hold mayoralties. Both Labour and Tories are managing expectations, with predictions favoring Labour in West Midlands and Tories in Tees Valley. Polls suggest Tory mayors in these areas could retain their seats, crucial for Sunak's future. The elections serve as a significant test before the general election, with Andy Street and Ben Houchen fighting to maintain their mayoral seats, potentially influencing Sunak's fate.
