Kirklees’ 50th mayor will be the first woman of colour and first Muslim woman to hold the role.

Nosheen Dad, 34, will also be the youngest ever mayor of the west Yorkshire borough. She was first elected as a Labour councillor in 2015.

The mayoral role is ceremonial and held for a year.

Cllr Dad said: ‘I am truly humbled and honoured to be the youngest and first female Asian mayor of our great district.

‘I hope to amplify the voices of everyone in Kirklees, to celebrate the work, community cohesion and the selflessness of people that sometimes goes unnoticed.’
