Elections to Thanet District Council took place on Thursday 2 May 2019, alongside other local elections across the country and parish council elections across Thanet, UK. [2] The result saw the Conservative Party return to being the largest party on the council, after UKIP formed a majority then split into groups. [1] [3] [4] The Labour Party also became the second largest party on the council. Labour gained the most seats in Thanet over any council area in the country. [5]

Contents

Initially after the 2019 election, the Conservative Party led the council with a minority [6] - however, after a vote of no confidence in October 2019, Labour now operate a confidence-and-supply arrangement with the Greens and Thanet Independents. [7]
