Results for the local elections are already streaming in - here are all the new councillors in Dudley following the 2026 local elections.
Residents across Dudley had their say yesterday (May 8) as polling stations saw dozens turn out to vote in the 2026 local elections.
Reform is officially the second-largest party in Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council, with Nigel Farage's party storming the elections. The party took 22 out of 25 seats contested this year, but the Conservatives remain the largest party overall due to only a third of seats being up for election this time.
Looking at the number of seats each party holds, Reform is currently on 23, standing just behind the Conservatives who hold 27. Labour, on the other hand, has 15 seats in Dudley. This was a huge loss for the party, which previously held 23. It managed to retain only one of its seats, while the Liberal Democrats lost one, and the Black Country Party lost all three of its seats.
Without further ado, here are all the new councillors elected for Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council:
