Summary

Prior to the election, the council was under Conservative majority control. The council had only three Reform UK councillors prior to the election, all of whom had been elected as South Holland Independents but joined Reform UK in March 2025. [22] The election saw Reform UK win 44 of the 70 seats on the council, giving it an overall majority. After the election, Reform UK chose Sean Matthews to be their new group leader on the council, and he was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 23 May 2025.
