The 2025 Kent County Council election is due to take place on 1 May 2025 to elect members to Kent County Council in Kent, England.[1] All 81 seats will be elected. This will be on the same day as other local elections. Kent County Council asked for the election to be postponed under the devolution programme but this was rejected, so the election will go ahead as planned.[2][3]

Background

[edit]

In the 2021 election, the Conservatives won 62 seats, giving them a majority and control of the council. The Labour Party were the second biggest party with 7 seats, followed by the Liberal Democrats with 6 seats and the Greens with 1 seat.[4] Mike Baldock of the Swale Independents was elected in Swale West.[5]

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

  Conservative   Green   Liberal Democrat   Residents   Reform UK

Division Date Incumbent Winner Cause Ref.
Wilmington 27 January 2022 Ann Allen Av Sandhu Death [6][7]

Maidstone Central 6 July 2023 Dan Daley Chris Passmore Death [12][13]
Swanscombe and Greenhithe 21 November 2024 Peter Harman Thomas Mallon Death [14][15]

In March 2024, councillor Trevor Shonk of Ramsgate left the Conservative Party to join the Thanet Independents.[16] Later that month, councillor Mike Whiting of Sheppey was suspended from the Conservatives following a drink driving conviction and sat the rest of his term as an independent.[17]

In the 2024 general election, the Labour Party won 10 of the Kent seats from the Conservatives (Ashford, Chatham and Aylesford, Dartford, Dover and Deal, Folkestone and Hythe, Gillingham and Rainham, Gravesham, Rochester and Strood, Sittingbourne and Sheppey and East Thanet), while retaining Canterbury. The Liberal Democrats won Tunbridge Wells from the Conservatives, who retained Faversham and Mid Kent, Maidstone and Malling, Herne Bay and Sandwich, Sevenoaks and Tonbridge while winning the new Weald of Kent seat. Overall, of the Kent seats, the Labour Party won 11, the Conservative Party won 6 and the Liberal Democrats won 1.[18]

In October 2024, councillor Barry Lewis of Margate was deselected by the Labour Party for the upcoming election citing "concerning comments" and allegations of election betting, leading him to leave the party and serve the rest of his term as an independent.[19][20] In January 2025, councillor Dirk Ross of Ashford South left the Conservative Party to sit as an independent.[21]
