Salford will go to the polls next month with a third of seats up for grabs.
Of the 20 seats being contested, 14 are held by Labour, four by the Conservative and two are independent.
Candidates will compete for one seat in each of Salford’s 20 wards with a total of 104 candidates standing.
Among them, Labour, the Conservatives, Ukip and the Greens are fighting every seat.
Last year, the Greens fought 18 seats while Ukip fought 12.
The Liberal Democrats are putting forward candidates in 10 wards - last year they fought all of them.
Among the senior cabinet members up for election are deputy mayor Paula Boshell, standing again in Winton and Gina Reynolds - the lead member for adults’ services and health and wellbeing - in Langworthy.
The lead member for workforce and industrial relations, John Ferguson, is also up for election in Pendlebury.
And this year’s ceremonial mayor Charlie McIntyre is fighting for another term in Broughton.
Long-standing Conservative councillor Robin Garrido is switching wards - he’ll no longer be a member in Boothstown and Ellenbrook but will fight for the seat in Worsley. It was previously occupied by Tory Christopher Clarkson, who stood down this year.
Garrido will be challenged by Norman Owen - the former Liberal Democrat leader in Salford who switched to Labour in 2015.
There will also be a slew of candidates fighting green issues. These include Green party members such as Bryan Blears - nephew of former Labour MP Hazel Blears - who will be standing for the party in Claremont.
But they also include local activists Carol Boyce - a long-time campaigner against the Bellway Homes development - who will be standing in Swinton South.
She is one of an alliance of independents, many of whom have campaigned against large housing developments included in the Greater Manchester spatial framework - like Dave Pike in Cadishead and Darren Goulden in Irlam.
The alliance also includes Paul Wilson - the incumbent councillor in Weaste and Seedley - who resigned from Labour earlier this year alleging bullying within the party.
Former councillors throwing their name back into the ring include Labour’s Anne-Marie Humphreys - who lost her Kersal seat last year to the Tories amid Labour’s national anti-semitism row. She is standing in Ordsall.
Mary Ferrer, a previous Liberal Democrat councillor who has been vocal in her opposition to homes on Buile Hill park, is standing as an independent in Claremont.
Other parties putting forward candidates in at least one ward are the Socialist Alternative, the Women’s Equality Party, Veterans and People’s Party and For Britain.
Voters will go to the polls on Thursday, May 2.
