Local Elections 2025: Let’s Keep the Momentum Going!

Let’s be honest – 2024 has been a sensational year for the Liberal Democrats. Finishing second in May’s Local Elections and then achieving our best General Election result in over a century two months later.

Our Chance to keep Moving Forwards

The next set of local elections in May 2025 are really significant for us. All 21 County Councils in England are up for election as well at some major unitary authorities. The Conservatives are defending nearly 1500 seats. We are defending just 293. Many of the councils up for grabs fall into constituencies with new Lib Dem MPs. So this is a real opportunity to consolidate and move forwards.

How YOU can Help

ALDC’s Local Election Appeal is a funding stream set up to directly support local elections candidates working hard to win. It will support extra literature being posted to key voters in key target wards – with a strong focus on Lib Dem gains and helping candidates from groups under-represented in local government. In 2024 the Local Election Appeal supported 43 wards – and 33 of these saw a Lib Dem elected.

This year we want to raise £30,000. This isn’t just a number—it’s what we need to communicate with key voters in 200 pivotal wards. In razor-thin contests, your contribution might very well tip the balance.

Be the difference. Let’s ride the momentum together and make 2025 another year to remember.

Every penny counts:
