Labour remains the largest political group at the LGA following the 2 May local elections, so it retains the right to nominate the organisation’s chair.
Labour is on 38.8 per cent, the Conservatives on 31.4 per cent, Liberal Democrats on 15.5 per cent, and Independents, Greens and Others on 14.3 per cent. The make-up of the LGA Board and the LGA’s policy boards and committees have been recalculated to reflect the LGA’s revised political balance. The chair and the new LGA Board will be elected at the LGA General Assembly’s virtual annual meeting on 2 July. Over the summer, the political group offices will confirm their appointments to all other formal roles ahead of the start of the LGA’s new political year on 1 September.
