Dozens of election hopefuls will be hoping to pull off a similar upset in the local elections to Rochdale MP George Galloway did in the February by-election.
The leader of the Workers Party of Britain promised to field candidates in the local election on May 2 to oust Labour from the council - and with 92 candidates standing, it looks as though he is hoping to make good on that promise. In Rochdale there are 20 seats up for grabs out of a total 60 this year.
The political makeup of the council is dominated by Labour who currently have 46 councillors.

Making up the 60 includes nine Conservatives, three Liberal Democrats and two Middleton Independents. The Labour Group has control of the council.
Big names to grace the ballot paper this year include the leader of the Lib Dems Andy Kelly, who is hoping to keep his seat in Milnrow and Newhey, as well as Rochdale by-election candidates Iain Donaldson (Lib Dem) Paul Ellison (Conservatives) and Billy Howarth (Workers Party formerly independent). A number of Labour’s top brass are up for election as well with cabinet members Daniel Meredith, Daalat Ali, Carol Wardle, Susan Smith, and Shah Wazir all fighting to keep their seats.
In addition to the options of who they want as their local councillor, residents will get to vote on who they want as their next Greater Manchester mayor as incumbent Andy Burnham’s spot is up for election as well. So residents will have two boxes to cross when they get their ballot paper.
Applications to register to vote must reach the Electoral Registration Officer by midnight on Tuesday, April 16. Applications can be made online.
