England's local elections on May 7, 2026, delivered historic gains for the Green Party of England and Wales, which secured 587 councillors—a net increase of 411 seats—across 136 councils contesting over 5,000 positions. The party took control of four councils, including Hackney, Lewisham, and Waltham Forest from Labour, alongside Norwich City Council, and won its first mayoral races in Hackney and Lewisham. These advances stemmed from pre-election polling surges amid Labour's unpopularity on housing, rents, and economic policy, fragmenting the two-party system as Reform UK also rose. With all results declared, trader consensus reflects the Greens' record performance exceeding expectations in urban and progressive strongholds.
