Wandsworth By-Election Could Shift Power | London News

Wandsworth Council is in political turmoil after Labour councillor Lizzy Dobres stepped down, triggering a high-stakes by-election that could shift power from the Conservatives to Labour—or cement Conservative control. With just one seat separating them from a majority, the Tories rely on a fragile alliance with an Independent. Dobres, who focused on tackling violence against women and girls, resigned due to a new job’s political restrictions and her pregnancy. If the Conservatives win the Trinity seat, they’ll gain a two-seat majority and ditch the Independent deal. This one race could reshape local governance for years.
