Local Elections 2026: Every Hunts District Council ward seat to be contested this May 7

Huntingdonshire District Council, for example, will be contesting all 52 of its council ward seats next month.

It is fair to say that, up until relatively recently, Huntingdonshire had been viewed as something of Conservative bolthole for many years.

Once famously represented by former Tory Prime Minister John Major, the district experienced a mild identity crisis following the 2022 local elections, when Labour, the Lib Dems, Greens and Independents all clubbed together to form an administration.

With that in mind, this is a district where the Conservatives will be keen to show they are reconnecting with their once loyal voters. However, that may not be so easy with Reform UK waiting in the wings.

It will not be lost on the Tories – or indeed any of the other parties – that Nigel Farage’s outfit scooped three seats in the 2025 county council elections, one of which was nearby Yaxley (the other two being Ramsey and St Neots).

So, while most Peterborough eyes are likely to be on the count at KingsGate Conference Centre during the wee early hours of May 8, the results in Huntingdonshire could well be every bit as significant for some.

Below is a full list of all the candidates announced by Hunts District Council who are due to stand in the local elections on May 7.

All of the candidates are listed in alphabetical order by surname, with wards also listed in alphabetical order.
