Elections for all 54 seats on the local council in Brighton and Hove take place on May 2nd. Six different parties are contesting the election this year, as well as a number of independent candidates in five of the council’s 21 wards.
Labour, the Conservatives and the Greens are standing candidates in every single ward. The Liberal Democrats are standing in 18, with a total of 26 candidates. UKIP are standing 11 candidates in 10 different wards, and the Women’s Equality Party are standing two candidates in Central Hove and Hanover and Elm Grove – it is the first time they have stood for election in Brighton and Hove.
More than a third of current councillors have chosen to stand down before this election, including former Labour council leader Warren Morgan, who defected to the Independent Group in February.
