**Green Party council seat projections for the May 7, 2026, local elections across 136 English authorities reflect surging poll support at 19-21%, fueled by a April 10 Kent by-election gain from Reform UK with 39% vote share amid the latter's national vote drop.** Trader consensus anticipates hundreds of additional seats—potentially rising from low hundreds to over 500 in scenarios like London—from disillusioned Labour voters shifting left amid housing policy criticisms. Campaign launches highlight rent controls and affordable homes, targeting urban strongholds under first-past-the-post rules. Fragmentation among Reform, Conservatives, and Liberal Democrats favors targeted Green advances, though turnout and independents pose risks ahead of the single-day vote.
