The 2025 Leicestershire County Council election took place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Leicestershire County Council in Leicestershire, England.[2] All 55 seats were up for election. This was on the same day as other local elections. Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control. The election saw the council go under no overall control, with Reform UK the largest party, winning 25 of the 55 seats, leaving them three seats short of a majority. They subsequently formed a minority administration to run the council.

Background

Prior to the election, the council was under Conservative majority control. The leader of the council was Nick Rushton, although he had temporarily stood back from active leadership in July 2024 whilst undergoing medical treatment, and the deputy leader, Deborah Taylor, was serving as acting leader immediately prior to the election.[3][4]

In the 2021 election, the Conservatives won 42 seats, giving them a majority and control of the council. The Liberal Democrats were the second biggest party with 9 seats, followed by Labour with 4 seats.[5]

Two by-elections took place between the 2021 and 2025 elections:

In the 2024 general election, the Conservative Party retained six of their Leicestershire seats (Harborough, Oadby and Wigston, Hinckley and Bosworth, Leicester East, Rutland and Stamford,(South Leicestershire and Mid Leicestershire) and won the new Melton and Syston seat. The Labour Party retained Leicester West and won Loughborough and North West Leicestershire, though they lost Leicester South to independent Shockat Adam.[10][11] After the general election, councillor Amanda Hack of Braunstone became MP for North West Leicestershire.[12][13] In February 2025, councillor Dan Harrison of Ibstock and Appleby left the Conservative Party and joined Reform UK, citing frustration with changes in leadership and the way the County Council was run.[14]

Summary

Overview

At the election, the Conservatives suffered an electoral collapse in line with their poor national performance, dropping from 42 seats to 15, and losing their majority on the council for the first time since 1997. Overall, the Conservatives lost 45% of their vote from the 2021 election. Nick Rushton, the Conservative leader of the council, lost his seat to Reform UK candidate Michael Squires.[4]

Reform UK was the main beneficiary of the Conservative collapse, winning the popular vote, and gaining 25 seats across the county to emerge as the largest party on the council - although three seats short of an overall majority. Reform UK chose Dan Harrison to be their group leader after the election. He had been a Conservative councillor until he left the Conservatives to join Reform UK in February 2025.[17] He was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 14 May 2025.[18] Reform UK formed a minority administration, taking all the seats on the council's cabinet. The Conservatives chose Deborah Taylor, who had been acting leader prior to the election, to be their new group leader in opposition.[19]

Despite losses in overall vote share, and losing several seats to Reform UK, the Liberal Democrats increased their seat count to 11. Labour lost 2 seats, finishing the night with 2, and saw a significant decline in their vote share. The Greens won a seat on the council for the first time in their history, and a single independent - former Liberal Democrat councillor Michael Charlesworth - was elected in the East Wigston division.
