    Milton Keynes Council is expected to remain as 'Progressive Alliance', a Labour and Lib Dem coalition, following local election results.

    One third of Milton Keynes' Councillors are elected each year on a three-year rotation. This is then followed by a year with no local election. During 2022's local elections- there were votes up for all 19 Borough Wards, with one vacancy in each ward.

    As results have now been concluded for each ward, the Conservatives have lost two seats to Labour, but remain the largest party.

    Conservatives sit on 23 seats, Labour, 20, and Lib Dems, 14. 

    29 seats are needed for the majority.

    Similarly to 2021, despite Conservative Group being the largest party, Labour and the Lib Dems together hold the most amount of seats.

    Last year, following lengthy discussions, it was decided that Labour and Liberal Democrats would form a 'Progressive Alliance' to run a majority administration on the Council. 

    The biggest lost for the Conservatives was within the Bletchley Park ward.
