Last updated 6th May 2022
Plymouth City Council remains under no overall control, after voters went to the polls in Thursday's (5 May) local elections.
A third of the seats on the 57-seat council were up for election this year.
Ahead of the elections, Conservatives held 22 seats, Labour had 23 and the Independents held 12. The authority was run by the Tories.
Now Labour and the Conservatives are split, holding 24 seats each. The Independents have dropped down to eight and the city has gained one Green Party councillor.
The decision on who will lead to council now falls to the Independents and the Green. This will be discussed at an annual meeting on 20 May.
The leader of Plymouth's Conservative group - Cllr Richard Bingley - stays in charge for now.
Plymouth also now has its first ever trans councillor, as Cllr Dylan Tippetts secured a seat in the city's Compton ward.
The overall turnout this year was 31.97%.
