Prior to the election, the council was under Conservative majority control. The election saw the council go under no overall control. Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats were the joint largest parties, each winning 23 seats. A coalition of the Liberal Democrats, Labour, Green Party and Local Alliance formed to run the council, led by Liberal Democrat councillor Jay Mercer. He was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 22 May 2026.[2]
Background
At the 2021 election, the Conservatives won an outright majority of seats.[3] The election was originally scheduled for May 2025 but was delayed as a result of the Labour government's scheme of local government reorganisation, which will abolish the two-tier system of local government currently present in Sussex.
The County Council election was then scheduled for the 7th May 2026, but was then further delayed until 2027 by the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, Steve Reed in January 2026. This followed a decision in December 2025 to delay the inaugural Sussex Mayoral Election, which was postponed until 2028 to give local government more time to reorganise.
After receiving legal advice stating that a second delay to the elections was unlawful, the Secretary of State reinstated the elections for May 2026.
The elections mark the first time that Reform UK has stood a full slate of candidates with the Liberal Democrats, Labour Party and Green Party all standing their highest number of candidates to date. The Conservative Party is also standing a full slate of candidates.
The election is likely to be the last election to West Sussex County Council, with the authority set to be abolished in 2028 following the elections to new Sussex unitary authorities in 2027.
