Elise Wilson Labour Mark Hunter Liberal Democrats The 2022 Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council election took place 5 May 2022 to elect members of Stockport Metropolitan Borough Council.
[3] In the 2021 election, the Liberal Democrats made no gains or losses with 30.59% of the vote, Labour lost 1 seat with 31.96%, the Conservatives made no gains or losses with 25.76%, the Green Party won their first seat on the council with 8.15%, and Heald Green Ratepayers kept their seat up for election with 2.21%.
Councillors were last elected in 2018 and changes are compared to those results.
After these elections the Labour and Conservative councillors combined no longer held a majority, meaning a Liberal Democrat minority administration was able to be formed.
A by-election was held on 13 October 2022 in the Edgeley and Cheadle Heath ward due to the death of councillor Sheila Bailey on 3 August 2022.
