Mapped: How London’s political landscape has been transformed as Greens lead five councils

London‘s political landscape has been transformed with the Green Party now leading five councils in the city after forming minority and coalition administrations.

Labour suffered a series of crushing defeats in the local elections on May 7, losing control of 11 town halls in the capital.

Hackney, Lewisham and Waltham Forest fell to the Greens, while the Conservatives wrestled back control of Westminster.

Seven boroughs – Brent, Enfield, Barnet, Wandsworth, Haringey Southwark and Lambeth – went from Labour to no overall control.

Now, these local authorities have to make decisions about who will lead them.

Here are the decisions made so far:

The Tories fell one seat short of being able to form a majority of Enfield council on May 7.

Sir Keir Starmer’s party won 27 seats, leaving the five new Green councillors as the key decision makers over who would lead the local authority.

At a meeting this week, the Greens abstained during votes which allowed Conservative Alessandro Georgiou to be elected leader of the town hall.

Tory nominations for mayor and deputy mayor of the borough were also approved.

It comes after the Greens and Conservatives agreed to team up to oppose controversial building plans in the area, including Tottenham’s new training ground and thousands of homes planned by the government.

While Labour remains the largest party in the town hall with 29 councillors, it lost 22 seats and fell short of holding a majority.

The Southwark Green Party’s 22 councillors and the Liberal Democrats, who won 12 seats, now intend to form a joint administration at the annual meeting of the council tonight.

A Green councillor has been elected the leader of Haringey council.

Mark Blake will guide a minority administration at the town hall.

Liberal Democrat Dawn Barnes was elected mayor of the borough, while Labour councillor Makbule Gunes was confirmed as deputy mayor.

The council was previously led Labour’s Peray Ahmet, who lost her seat at the local elections.

Both the Tories and Labour won 31 councillors each in Barnet at the local elections.

The Greens now hold one seat.

Labour has narrowly retained control of the town hall, with Barry Rawlings being re-elected leader with 31 votes in favour, 31 abstentions and one vote against.

The Tories and Labour have agreed to a co-operation arrangement but not a formal coalition.

Labour won 26 of the Brent’s 57 seats, falling three short of a majority.

The Tories and Liberal Democrats each won 11 seats, while the Greens secured nine.

At the council meeting last week, Conservative councillors abstained during leadership votes, allowing Labour to retain control of the town hall and re-elect Muhammed Butt as council leader.

Tory Amer Agha was chosen as the deputy mayor.
