The 2009 Doncaster mayoral election was held on the 4 June 2009 to elect the Mayor of Doncaster. Peter Davies of the English Democrats won the election for the term, albeit with a slender majority of 50.4% compared to the runner-up's 49.6%. The election saw the English Democrats win the mayoralty from the previously Labour Party-held mayoralty, in what was called the party's "biggest electoral success". ^[1]
