Meetings underway to choose new KCC leader

  • Worcestershire County Council held elections on 2025-05-04 with 57 seats contested across the county.
  • The elections followed a collapse of the Conservative majority and local dissatisfaction with 10 years of council leadership under Simon Geraghty.
  • Reform won 27 seats, falling two short of a majority, while the Conservatives won only 12 seats and several prominent members lost their seats.
  • Simon Geraghty lost his Worcester Riverside seat to Green Party member Tor Pingree, and Reform's Michele Hulme defeated former environment cabinet member Emma Stokes.
  • The council is now under no overall control, with Reform poised to form a minority administration but ruling out any deal with the Conservatives.
