Following the decision of the Labour Party to expel Communist Party members from their party, in Bethnal Green, a number of their council group were expelled, including leading figure Cllr. Joseph James Vaughan. The Communist Party responded by fielding a full slate of candidates in opposition to Labour Party candidates. Bethnal Green Liberals decided to end their nominal Progressive alliance with the Municipal Reform Party and stand candidates for the first time under the Liberal Party label.
In the previous elections in 1925, the Labour Party had won 17 of the 30 council seats, giving it a majority of Councillors. In 1928 the Liberal Party swept the board winning all 30 council seats.
