THE full list of candidates standing in next months Bradford Council elections has been released.

On May 2 people across the district will go to the polls to vote in the local elections – where 30 of the 90 seats on Bradford Council will be up for grabs.

Like many councils, Bradford operates on a system where every council seat is up for grabs each four-year cycle.

Three of those years will include an election where a third of seats are contested, with a fourth year with no local elections.

It is likely to be the first of two elections in 2024 – a General Election in which local MPs will be decided is expected to take place before the end of the year.

In Bradford, 152 candidates are running for the 30 available seats, with Labour, Conservatives, Liberal Democrats and Greens fielding candidates in all wards.

The Yorkshire Party has multiple candidates, and there are a large number of people running as independents.

Other parties represented in the candidate list include Reform UK, the Trade Unionist and Socialist Coalition, British Democrats, Social Democrats, and UKIP – Protect Free Speech.

Labour currently has a large majority on Bradford Council, with 53 out of the 90 Council seats.

Conservatives are the largest opposition party with 16 councillors, followed by Green (8) and Liberal Democrats (5). The remainder of the councillors are independent.
