Westminster Council election candidates 2026: Who’s standing in your area?

Westminster Council house

Candidates have been announced for the 2026 Westminster local elections to be held on May 7.

All 54 council seats will up for election in Westminster, as residents head to the polls across all London boroughs.

While Westminster is shaping up to be a two-way Conservative-Labour battle, other parties are hoping to also get a slice of the action, with both the Greens and Reform having fielded a full slate of candidates in every ward.

Voters in each of the 18 wards will have three votes to fill each of the vacant seats.

Early polling suggests the race could be very tight, with 28 seats required for an absolute majority.

In 2022, Labour took Westminster for the first time since the council was formed in 1964, however the area is high on the Tories’ target list to regain.
