2025 Devon County Council election

Following the election the council was under no overall control, with the Liberal Democrats the largest party. The Liberal Democrats changed their group leader immediately after the election, with Julian Brazil replacing Caroline Leaver.^[13] Julian Brazil was then formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2025. The Liberal Democrats took nine of the ten seats on the council's cabinet, and the other place was taken by the Green Party.^[14]

Reform UK had no seats on the council prior to the election. They won 18 seats at the election, making them the second largest party on the council. They chose Michael Fife Cook as their new group leader.^[15]
