Latest News About Isle Of Wight Election Results 2026

Updated 2026-05-09 00:03

Reform UK made major gains in the Isle of Wight local elections in May 2026, but the council is still not controlled by any single party (i.e., it remains under no overall control).[3]

Latest published result snapshot (Isle of Wight Council)

According to the latest reporting, the council’s seats are: Reform UK 19, Independents 11, Liberal Democrats 4, Conservatives 2, Green 2, Labour 1—with 20 seats needed for an overall majority, so Reform UK fell 1 seat short.[3]

What happens next

Because no party has an outright majority, reporting indicates there will likely be discussion about power-sharing arrangements in the following weeks.[3]

If you tell me whether you want ward-by-ward results or just the overall council seat breakdown, I can tailor the summary to that.
