The 2026 Birmingham City Council election took place on 7 May 2026, with all 101 council seats up for election across 37 single-member and 32 two-member wards.^[2] The election was held alongside other local elections across Great Britain.

Prior to the election, the council was under Labour majority control. At the previous council election in 2022, Labour had maintained its control of the council, winning 65 seats. The Conservative Party formed the main opposition with twenty-two seats, with the Liberal Democrats on twelve and the Green Party winning two.

On 11 May 2026, the final results of this election were announced as Reform UK 23, Greens 19, Labour 17, Conservatives 16, Lib Dems 12, Workers Party 1, Independents 13.^[3] The council therefore went under no overall control. The incumbent Labour leader of the council, John Cotton, lost his seat.^[4]

Reform were the largest party after the election, but were unable to find any coalition partners to work with them. Instead, a coalition of the Liberal Democrats, Green Party and the Better Birmingham Independent Group formed a minority administration, led by the Liberal Democrats' group leader Roger Harmer. He was formally confirmed as the new leader of the council at a meeting on 5 June 2026.^[5]

Background

The Local Government Act 1972 created a two-tier system of metropolitan counties and boroughs covering Greater Manchester, Merseyside, South Yorkshire, Tyne and Wear, the West Midlands, and West Yorkshire starting in 1974. Birmingham is a district of the West Midlands metropolitan county.^[6] The Local Government Act 1985 abolished the metropolitan county councils, with the metropolitan boroughs individually taking on most of the county-level powers. The West Midlands Combined Authority was created in 2016 and began electing the mayor of the West Midlands from 2017, which was given strategic powers covering a region coterminous with the West Midlands metropolitan county.^[7]

Since its formation Birmingham City Council has variously been under Labour control, Conservative control and no overall control. Councillors have predominantly been elected from the Labour Party, Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats. The council has had an overall Labour majority since the 2012 council election, when they regained control from the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition that had run the city since 2004.^[8]

John Cotton had led the Labour group on Birmingham City Council since May 2023,^[9] with Robert Alden leading the Conservative group,^[10] Roger Harmer leading the Liberal Democrats,^[11] Julien Pritchard leading the Greens, Martin Brooks leading the Harborne and Quinton Independents, and Jane Jones leading the Birmingham Independents.

Dissatisfied with the Labour Party's position in the Gaza War, many Muslim candidates stood as independents, campaigning on pro-Gaza sentiments.^[12] Significant controversy erupted over the candidature of Shahid Butt, a British Muslim who had been convicted in a plot to bomb the British consulate, an Anglican Church and a Swiss-owned hotel in Yemen in 1999 at the Sparkhill council seat of Birmingham.^[13] Butt also courted controversy by calling Muslims to boycott Jews during his campaign.^[14]

Council composition

Prior to the election

Birmingham City council has been controlled by the Labour Party since 2012. The Conservative Party last held sole control of the council in 1984. It was under no overall control from 2003 until 2012, run by a Labour-Liberal Democrat coalition from 2003 to 2004 and by a Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition from 2004 to 2012.^[15]

After the election

Although the Green Party of England and Wales won the highest share of the vote at 20.8%, Reform UK won more seats because of the UK's first-past-the-post electoral system.

Following the election, the leader of the Reform UK group of 23 new councillors stated that "Although we are the largest party, other groups have made it clear that they refuse to work with us, meaning there is no viable route for Reform to take control of the council. Given that Birmingham has also clearly elected a left-wing majority, we have accepted that we will unfortunately be unable to form an administration."^[36] The Labour Party named Nicky Brennan as its leader on the council. Brennan has since ruled out her party entering into any coalition agreement with other parties in the council.^[37]

Following the elections, cross-party talks formed to form a new administration. Despite emerging as the largest single group with 23 seats, Reform UK conceded that they had "no viable route" to take control of the council, with every party interested in a coalition explicitly ruling out a coalition with them, and the Labour and Conservative parties ruling out any coalitions.^[38] Meanwhile, the Labour Party, which saw its 14-year control of the council end after dropping to 17 seats, also ruled out entering any power-sharing arrangements, choosing instead to sit on the opposition benches.

By 11 May 2026, the possibility of a coalition emerged as the Green Party (19 seats) and the Liberal Democrats (12 seats) initiated formal talks to build a governing block. On 19 May, this alliance was strengthened by a newly-formed independent group, the "Better Birmingham Independents", a seven-seat bloc of moderate independent Muslim councillors led by Harris Khaliq, that had split away from the hard-line faction of the party loyal to Ahmed Yakoob and agreed to a coalition.^[39] This moderate group agreed to drop issues related to Gaza war and contentious social agendas from their manifesto. To secure a power-sharing deal with the progressive Greens and Liberal Democrats, they explicitly committed to upholding the council's statutory equality policies, including existing LGBTQ+ protections and not interfering with or challenging the national statutory curriculum surrounding LGBTQ taught in Birmingham schools, which has been an issue in the city and other areas in England with significant Muslim communities since 2019.^[40] This group is still seven seats short of a majority.^[41]

The election produced a significant shift in the gender balance on the council with the number of female councillors falling from 42 to 28 of the 101 council seats. Liberal Democrat councillor, Izzy Knowles, cited a rise in abuse of elected representatives, particularly towards women, as a factor deterring women from running for office.^[42]

Ward results

Calculation of vote percentages

The vote percentage for each candidate is calculated by dividing their number of votes by the total number of valid ballots.

1-seat wards

The calculation is straightforward for 1-seat wards since the total number of valid ballots is equal to the total number of votes cast.

2-seat wards

In the case of 2-seat wards, the calculation is more complex because the number of valid ballots is not equal to the number of votes cast. Nor is it equal to half the number of votes cast because some valid ballots may have only one vote. Instead, we must determine the number of valid ballots by multiplying the percentage turnout by the eligible electorate^[43] of the ward and then subtracting the number of rejected ballots.

Unfortunately, Birmingham City Council has not published the numbers of rejected ballots for this election, so we cannot account for these. This means that the vote percentages for 2-seat wards are slightly understated.

Ongoing polls suggested a large increase in the election of independent candidates, particularly in areas with a high density of ethnic minority voters.
Labour was expected to lose their majority, resulting in a No Overall Control council, which did occur.

Changes between 2026 and 2030

In June 2026, Majid Mahmood^[45] and Diane Donaldson^[46] (both Bromford and Hodge Hill) resigned from the Labour group.
In July 2026, Rebecca Waters (Rubery and Rednal) was suspended from the Reform UK group after voting against the party on the council leadership.^[47]
In August 2026, Siobhan Harper-Nunes (Ladywood) was suspended from the Green Party group over charges she assaulted three police officers, a member of police staff and a member of the public.^[48]
In September 2026, Bushra Bi (Sparkhill) left the Labour Party and joined the Green Party.^[49]
In October 2026, Alan Feeney (Shard End) resigned following revelations he made racist and sexist comments during the local election campaign.^[50]
