North Herts District Council's Labour leader, Martin Stears-Hanscomb, has lost his place on the council, after running for election in the Letchworth South East ward - a seat retained by Conservative party leader David Levett.
The council leader had been successful in the past when running in the HItchin Oughton ward - a seat that was retained for Labour in this year's election.
He took on the role after the Conservatives lost their overall control in the 2019 elections. His predecessor, Lynda Needham, lost her seat in 2019 after a tie in votes with Liberal Democrat Sean Prendergast led them to draw straws.
Following the 2021 election, there was one gain and nine holds for the Conservatives, five holds for Labour and two holds for Liberal Democrats.
The full council is now made up of 23 Conservatives, 15 Labour and 11 Liberal Democrats.
