The 2022 Huntingdonshire District Council election is currently taking place as of 5 May 2022 to elect members of Huntingdonshire District Council in England.[1] This was on the same day as other local elections. The elections saw two councillors elected unopposed,[2] the first uncontested elections in the district since 1988. The Conservative Party had been in control of the District Council since 1976; however, with eight of their councillors losing their seats in the election – including the leader – there is no longer a single party in control on the council.[3][4]
