The 2019 Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members of Calderdale Metropolitan Borough Council in England. [1] This was on the same day as other local elections. One councillor was elected in each ward for a four-year term so the councillors elected in 2019 last stood for election in 2015. Each ward is represented by three councillors, the election of which is staggered, so only one third of the councillors were elected in this election. Before the election there was no overall control with a minority Labour administration. Following the election Labour, having gained four councillors, took control of the council with an overall majority of five seats. [2]
In May 2019 Councillor Colin Peel defected from the Conservative Party to Change UK. [3] After the dissolution of the party he retained his seat as an independent councillor.
In November 2019 Councillor Roger Taylor was suspended from the Conservative Party over alleged Islamophobic comments. [4]
