The Lib Dems are celebrating in Devon after winning the most seats in the Devon County Council elections – but no party has overall control.

Sixty seats in 58 council divisions were up for election in Devon – with two divisions, Exmouth and Broadclyst, having two elected councillors each.

The Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) won the majority of seats, 27, but they did not reach the threshold of more than 50 per cent – more than 31 – required to give the party overall control of the council.

Reform UK also had a good night, winning 18 seats.

It was, though, a disastrous day for the Conservative Party, which previously had overall control, but ended election day with seven councillors.

The Green Party won six seats with two going to independent candidates. The Labour Party won no seats.

There are an interesting few weeks ahead now as each grouping holds talks in a bid to agree a coalition.
