Dame Andrea Jenkyns has been elected as the mayor of Greater Lincolnshire .

She will control an annual budget of 24 m and hold powers over skills, transport and economic development.

She beat the Conservative candidate by more than 40,000 votes, which will feel like like a personal vindication for the former Tory MP.

She has form for bouncing back from crushing disappointments with attention-grabbing election wins.

Her father's death in 2011 spurred her to run for Parliament after he contracted MRSA infection.

Two months later , Jenkyns announced she was officially joining Reform UK and would stand as the party's candidate to be mayor of Greater Lincolnshire . Dame Andrea said she had "fought to the bitter end" but the Conservative Party was now "beyond salvage". Twelve years on from her defeat to Farage 's former party in a local election in Lincolnshire, Jenkyns has delivered a significant electoral victory for her former foe. Back in the county where it all began, the new mayor has once again proved her bouncebackability..
