The 2024 Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council in Hampshire, England, alongside other local elections in England and Wales.[1] A third of the council's 54 seats were up for election.
Prior to the election, the council was under no overall control. The Conservatives were the largest party, but the council was being run by a coalition of the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, and the Basingstoke & Deane Independents. After the election, the council was still under no overall control. The Conservatives remained the largest party, but lost nearly a third of their seats, bringing their seat count down to 16. Labour, the Liberal Democrats, the Green Party, and the Basingstoke & Deane Independents all gained seats from the Conservatives. The same coalition continued to run the council after the election.[2]
Stacy Hart of the Women's Equality Party won a Conservative-held seat in the Hatch Warren and Beggarwood ward, marking the first time a borough councillor for the party has ever been elected.[3] [4] [5]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council following the close of nominations on 5 April 2024.[6] The results were announced the day after the election at around mid-day.[7] [5] Sitting councillors standing for re-election are marked with an asterisk (*).
