All results of the West Sussex County Council election for 2026 have now been announced. 

70 councillors have been elected:

  • Reform UK has 23 councillors
  • The Liberal Democrats have 23 councillors
  • The Conservative Party has 11 councillors
  • The Green Party has 7 councillors
  • The Labour Party has 5 councillors
  • One councillor is from the Local Alliance

No one political party has more than half the seats and so the outcome was no overall control. 

Update: A new Liberal Democrat-led cross-party alliance has been formed to run West Sussex County Council.
