Tom Ross is the official new leader of Trafford Council after he was voted in by fellow councillors.
The Labour member replaces Andrew Western, who was [size=inherit]
elected as the Stretford and Urmston MP in a by-election last month.
Mr Western, who had led the council since 2018, said his successor would be an "outstanding" leader.
Mr Ross said it was "the privilege of a lifetime" to lead the authority and he was "really excited" about the role.
The 41-year-old had been executive member for finance and governance since 2019 and was mayor of Trafford in 2018 and 2019.
Mr Western was elected MP after securing 70% of the vote in December's by-election.
It followed Kate Green's resignation after she was nominated deputy mayor of Greater Manchester.
