The 2024 Norwich City Council election took place on 2 May 2024 to elect members of Norwich City Council in Norfolk, England. This was on the same day as other local elections in England.
At the previous local elections in 2023, Labour retained its overall majority despite losing two seats to the Green Party. However, in November of that year four councillors resigned from the ruling Labour group, depriving the party of their majority for the first time in more than eleven years.[1] [2] As a result, the council fell into no overall control. Labour continued to run the council as a minority administration after the defections in November 2023.
After the previous election in 2023 the composition of the council was:
| 23 | 13 | 3 | |
Following changes of allegiance, prior to the 2024 election the composition of the council was:
| 19 | 13 | 4 | 3 | |
Changes 2023–2024:
The election saw the council remain under no overall control. Labour regained some of the seats it had lost to defections during the previous year, but lost seats to the Greens, leaving Labour's overall number of seats unchanged.[4] The Labour minority administration continued to run the council after the election.[5]
The Statement of Persons Nominated, which details the candidates standing in each ward, was released by Norwich City Council following the close of nominations on 8 April 2024.[6]
