REFORM is standing more candidates in next month's local elections than either Labour or the Conservatives though no party has managed to find enough people to contest every seat.
Voters in 23 local authorities in England go the polls on May 1 to choose their new councillors. It is the first big test at the ballot box for political parties since Labour won the general election in July 2024.
A total of 1,641 council seats across the 23 authorities are up for grabs.
Reform is standing 1,631 candidates, according to PA news agency analysis of nomination data published by local authorities - meaning the party is contesting 99.4% of seats.
