The 2024 Gosport Borough Council election was held on Thursday 2 May 2024, alongside the other local elections in the United Kingdom on the same day. There were 15 seats up for election, being the usual half of the 28 members of Gosport Borough Council in Hampshire, plus a vacancy in Lee West ward. [1]
The council remained under Liberal Democrat majority control. [2]
Gosport has historically been controlled by all 3 major parties. Labour controlled the council from its creation to 1976, when the Conservatives won a majority. [3] This lasted until 1990 when the council fell into no overall control, before being gained by the Liberal Democrats in 1991. [3] At the 1998 election, the council again fell into no overall control, and was gained by the Conservatives in 2010. [4]
The 2022 election was to elect all seats following boundary changes. In that election, the Liberal Democrats won a majority, with 16 seats and a 40.9% vote share. The Conservatives won 10 with 42.8%, and Labour won 2 with 11.7%. The 2024 election is for seats held by the candidate who were returned in 2022 with the second-highest number of votes. [5]
