Lambeth London Borough Council elections

Lambeth London Borough Council is elected every four years.

Summary of council election results: Since the last boundary changes in 2022 the council has comprised 63 councillors representing 25 wards, with each ward electing two or three councillors.

The by-election was caused by the death of Matthew Parr.

The by-election was caused by the resignation of Jane Edbrooke.

The by-election was caused by Lib Peck who resigned as Leader of Lambeth Council and as a councillor in order to take the role as the Director of the Mayor of London’s newly established Violence Reduction Unit.

[17][18][19] The by-election was caused by the death of Liam Jarnecki.

[21][22][23] This by-election was caused by the resignation of Sonia Winifred.

[25] This by-election was caused by the resignation of Tom Rutland, Labour's prospective parliamentary candidate for East Worthing and Shoreham at the 2024 general election.

[30] In 1979, the administration of Edward "Red Ted" Knight organised the borough's first public demonstration against the Thatcher government.

[31] In 1985, the left-wing Labour administration of Knight was subjected to 'rate-capping', with its budget restricted by the Government.

Knight and most of the Labour councillors protested by refusing to set any budget.

This protest resulted in 32 councillors being ordered to repay to the council the interest the council had lost as a result of budgeting delays, and also being disqualified from office.

In 1991, Joan Twelves's administration both failed to collect the poll tax and openly opposed the war in the Persian Gulf.

[31] Twelves, and 12 other councillors were subsequently suspended from the labour party's local group by regional officials for advocating non-payment of the poll tax and other radical policies in 1992.

[32] Twelves's equally militant deputy leader in this era was John Harrison.
