Britons in different parts of the country went to the polls on Thursday to choose representatives on local councils. 8,230 candidates will be elected to local councils across Britain, as well as new mayors in important areas such as Leicester and Bedford.
Results of the local elections will present a picture of the popularity of the Conservative Party, which is seeking to maintain 3300,8 seats out of 2024,<> contested seats. Any decline in the results of these elections will cast doubt on the party's leadership, which knows it faces a tough test.
