The 2024 Rugby Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Rugby Borough Council in Warwickshire, England. [1] This was on the same day as other local elections.
Prior to the election, the council was under no overall control, being led by a Conservative minority administration. Following the election, the council remained under no overall control, and the Conservatives remained the largest party. [2] There were some weeks of negotiations after the election on who should form the next administration, with the Conservatives trying to form a coalition with Liberal Democrats. In the end, an agreement was reached between Labour and the Liberal Democrats to allow a minority Labour administration to take control of the council with informal support from the Liberal Democrats. The Conservative leader of the council, Derek Poole, was removed from office at a council meeting on 5 June 2024, being replaced by the Labour group leader, Michael Moran. [3] [4]
