"Professor Tony Travers of the London School of Economics stated that Sutton has been controlled continuously by the Liberal Democrats since 1986, facing a new threat from Reform UK."
"Nick Bowes, insight director from the London Communications Agency, remarked that these elections are likely to be the most consequential in London for the past 20 years, with fragmentation in the polls making predictions difficult."
The turnout for the recent election was 40%, with a 0.3% swing from Conservatives to Lib Dems. The Conservatives gained two seats, while the Liberal Democrats are expected to lose some but maintain control. Labour dominates London councils, holding 21 of 32, while the Conservatives have five. The upcoming elections are seen as highly consequential, with predictions of a challenging night for both Labour and Conservatives. Over six million Londoners are eligible to vote in the council elections on May 7, 2026.
