Background

Oxford City Council is a district council which elects 24 of its 48 members every two years. In the 2021 election, all 48 members were elected after boundary changes in the first full election to the council since 2002. Labour won an outright majority, with 34 seats.[2]

The 2022 local elections are seen as a wider indication of public opinion on Boris Johnson's government and the Partygate scandal, as well as the leadership of Keir Starmer, the Labour leader, and Ed Davey, the leader of the Liberal Democrats.[3]
