Final tallies from the May 7, 2026, local elections across 136 English councils show Reform UK securing 1,454 seats to lead nationally, with Labour a commanding second at 1,068 councillors—well ahead of Liberal Democrats (844) and Conservatives (801). Declarations over the past week, including Reform gains in northern heartlands like Sunderland and Walsall, solidified this positioning despite Labour's historic losses of nearly 1,500 seats amid backlash over cost-of-living and immigration policies. Pre-election polls from April, showing Reform at 26-28% national vote share and Labour trailing at 17-19%, aligned closely with outcomes. Trader consensus at 100% reflects these irreversible results; challenges would require recounts flipping over 200 seats or a shift to vote-share resolution, both highly improbable with all councils declared.

United Kingdom local elections are scheduled to be held on May 7, 2026.
This market will resolve according to the party whose official candidates win the second-most council seats for the United Kingdom's metropolitan boroughs, London borough councils, unitary authorities, county councils, and district councils in the 2026 United Kingdom Local Elections.
A candidate will be considered an official candidate of a party if they are officially nominated by that party and are registered for the relevant election in affiliation with that party. Independent candidates will not count for any party.
Only elections for the United Kingdom’s metropolitan boroughs, London borough councils, unitary authorities, county councils, and district councils taking place on May 7, 2026, or rescheduled to within seven days thereafter, will be counted for this market.
Parties will be ranked primarily by the number of relevant council seat elections won. In the case of a tie between two or more parties, the party whose name comes first in alphabetical order, as listed in this market group, will be ranked ahead. This market will resolve to the party that occupies second place under this ranking.
Resolution of this market will be based on the results of the relevant elections, once those results are official. This market will remain open until the results of all of the relevant elections are made official. If the results of any of the relevant 2026 United Kingdom local elections aren’t known by April 30, 2027 11:59 PM ET, the winning party will be determined based on the available results up to that point. If none of the results of the relevant 2026 United Kingdom local elections are known by that time, this market will resolve to “Other”.
This market will resolve based on the results of the elections as indicated by a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve based solely on the official results as reported by the respective council government.Final tallies from the May 7, 2026, local elections across 136 English councils show Reform UK securing 1,454 seats to lead nationally, with Labour a commanding second at 1,068 councillors—well ahead of Liberal Democrats (844) and Conservatives (801).
