Liberal Democrats hold on to power at Hull City Council
LABOUR OPPOSITION MADE A NET GAIN OF 2 SEATS
THE Liberal Democrats remain in control of Hull City Council following the declaration of local election results yesterday morning.
The Liberal Democrats lost a net total of two seats, while the Labour opposition made a net gain of 2 seats in this year’s local elections. Liberal Democrat leader Cllr Mike Ross said the results showed the people had put their faith in his party to continue running the council.
Labour leader Cllr Daren Hale said they had put the Liberal Democrats on notice and his party was heading towards retaking control of The Guildhall after losing it in 2022.
The final results leave the Liberal Democrats with a total of 31 seats to Labour’s 26.
Notable results include Labour gains in Avenue, Derringham and North Carr while the Liberal Democrats took University. No other parties won any other seats.
