Dorset Council was previously controlled by the Conservatives, who won the first election to the Council in 2019. The 2024 election was the last for a five-year term of office; after 2029, elections will take place every four years.[2]
The Liberal Democrats were aiming to gain control of the council from the Conservatives,[3] which they achieved.[4]
