The council was under Conservative majority control prior to the election, led by Izzi Seccombe. The election saw the council go under no overall control; the Conservatives fell back to being only the third largest party, being overtaken by both Reform UK and the Liberal Democrats, and Seccombe lost her seat. There had been no Reform UK councillors prior to the election, but they emerged as the largest party, with 23 seats. They chose Rob Howard to be their new group leader, and he was formally appointed as the new leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 16 May 2025. (Howard resigned as leader just over a month later.)
