JAKARTA - The Labour Party's power to lead the Westminster Council in London was ousted by the Conservative Party based on the results of the 2026 British local elections or by-elections.

A Conservative Party spokesman said he was pleased with the results of the local elections for Westminster announced last night local time.

"Under the leadership of Kemi Badenoch, the Conservative Party is back in London. This victory is a clear sign of the progress made by the Conservative Party under the new leadership," he said on Friday, May 8, quoted from The Telegraph.

He said the satisfactory result removed the leadership of the majority of the Westminster council from the Labor Party thanks to the party's policies reaching constituents.

"This is also a testament to the hard work of Conservative councillors and activists in Westminster. We are confident they will show that only the Conservative Party is serious about delivering better services with lower taxes," he continued.

In addition to Westminster, Labour also lost control of Wandsworth council.

In addition, based on the results of the vote last night, the Labor Party also lost in six other areas in England.
