Harrow Council has been held by the Conservatives adding 11 councillors to their tally. Labour councillors have halved since the last election, whilst new party Arise secured one seat.
The North West London borough returned a total of 42 Conservative councillors from 55 available seats. The results mirrored councils across London and the rest of the country, with Labour suffering heavy losses.
Labour only returned 12 seats and will once again form the official opposition. The Green Party, Liberal Democrats and Reform all struck a blank, despite standing a full slate of candidates. Arise won its first councillor, with Pamela Fitzpatrick taking a seat in the Marlborough ward.
The North West London borough has been held by the Conservatives since 2022, where Labour formed the official opposition. Throughout the last 60 years, the local authority has flip flopped between either Labour, Conservatives or no overall control.
Polling had indicated the council would continue to be held by the Conservatives – with Harrow being the only borough where the Conservatives increased its vote share at the 2024 general election.
At the last election, in 2022, the Conservatives won 31 seats and Labour 23, and one Independent.
