Walsall local election results 2026: Full list of results as leader loses seat to Reform by seven votes
The election results are in for Walsall Council.
Reform UK ended a successful day in the Black Country by winning a majority in Walsall and unseating the council’s veteran Conservative leader by just seven votes.
The party followed up successes in Dudley, Wolverhampton and Sandwell by winning 38 seats on Walsall Council on a bad night for Labour, who lost 16 seats, and the Conservatives, who lost 26.
Experienced Tory Mike Bird lost his Pheasey Park Farm seat after a dramatic recount, though his deputy Adrian Andrew was elected alongside two Reform representatives.
With three quarters of wards declared Reform had already secured the 31 seats needed for a majority on Walsall Council.
Before this week the party did not have a single councillor in Walsall.
