Seats on Newham Council up for election included in the wards of Canning Town North, Canning Town South, Manor Park, Royal Victoria, Stratford, Stratford Olympic Park, Wall End, and West Ham
Newham voters had their say in both the council elections and for a new mayor in 2026. Before the May 7 election, the East London council was run by Labour, with 56 seats out of 66, plus the position of Mayor. Every seat on Newham Council was up for grabs, with each ward represented by either two or three councillors.
Also May 7 the Newham Independents held four councillors, the Green Party has three and there are three other Independent councillors. Polling predictions from YouGov and PollCheck suggest the Green Party will give Labour the strongest challenge while independents are expected to take a significant share of the vote.
