2019 Sevenoaks District Council election

The 2019 Sevenoaks District Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members of Sevenoaks District Council. This was on the same day as other local elections. The entire council (54 seats) was up for election. The result was a reduced majority for the Conservatives (down 3 seats) but was still a large victory. Independents made gains, as did the Liberal Democrats.[1] UKIP lost the 1 seat they had won in 2015. No contest was held in 4 wards (Cowden & Hever, Dunton Green & Riverhead, Leigh & Chiddingstone Causeway, and Penshurst, Fordcombe & Chiddingstone), as the same number of candidates as seats up for election ran.
