A total of 222 people will be vying for the city’s votes in 23 wards, from Regency to Rottingdean and from Woodingdean to Westbourne.

Across the city, Labour and the Green Party are set to field 54 candidates each.

The Conservatives, however, are not standing a full slate of candidates at the election - with just 50 people running for the party across all 23 wards.

The Liberal Democrats, who are hoping to elect their first councillor in Brighton and Hove for more than a decade, are standing their largest contingent of candidates, with 30 people running for the party across all but two of the city’s wards.

Socialist group TUSC (Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition) are also standing eight candidates, after condemning Labour and the Green Party for not avoiding cuts to the council’s budget earlier this year.

The Brighton and Hove Independents, a group founded by independent councillor Bridget Fishleigh, is standing nine candidates across roughly a third of the city’s wards.

Another independent group, the Friends of Brighton and Hove Party, are standing eight candidates.

The UK Independence Party are running three candidates, including the party’s former leader Patricia Mountain.

Reform UK, formed by Nigel Farage in 2019, is standing one candidate in Hangleton and Knoll.

Five independents unaffiliated with any group are also standing for election, including North Portslade councillor Peter Atkinson, who quit the Labour Party in 2021.

A total of 21 councillors are standing down at this election, including several former council leaders, such as Dan Yates, Nancy Platts and Mary Mears.

Voters will go to the polls on May 4 to elect the city’s councillors for the next four years.
