Following the local elections held on 7 May, the LGA’s political proportionality has been calculated and independently verified.
The Labour Group remains the largest group at the LGA. The full results are Labour (24.6 per cent), Conservative (20 per cent), Reform UK (18.7 per cent), Liberal Democrat (17.6 per cent), Independents (10.9 per cent) and Green (8.2 per cent).
The Green Party has met the 5 per cent threshold entitling it to form a new political group at the LGA, if it wishes.
Every year after local elections, the LGA’s political proportionality is recalculated and used to determine the make-up of the LGA Board and all its policy committees.
The new board and chair will be elected at the annual meeting of the LGA’s General Assembly, ahead of its annual conference in Bournemouth from 7-9 July.
Over the summer, the LGA’s political group offices will confirm their appointments to all other formal roles at the organisation, ahead of the start of the LGA’s new political year on 1 September.
