|
The 2024 Oxford City Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections being held in the United Kingdom on the same day. [1] The councillors elected will serve a four-year term ending in 2028. [2]
Oxford City Council elects half of its councillors to every 2 years to serve four-year terms. [2] However, the seats up for election in 2024 were last elected in 2021, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. [2]
At the previous election in 2022, Labour held its majority on the council, however, they lost 3 seats to bring the total number of Labour councillors to 32. [3] [4] [5] In October 2023, Labour lost control of the council due to 9 councillors resigning in opposition to Keir Starmer's refusal to call for a ceasefire in the 2023 Israel–Hamas war. [6] By the time of the election the council remained under no overall control, with a Labour leader. [7] Robert Ford suggested in The Guardian that Oxford would be a key testing ground of dissatisfaction from Labour's left wing and from Muslim and young progressive voters. [8]
