Elections to Thanet District Council took place on Thursday 2 May 2019, alongside other local elections across the country and parish council elections across Thanet,UK. [2] The result saw the Conservative party return to being the largest party on the council, after UKIP formed a majority then split into groups.[1][3][4] The Labour party also became the second largest party on the council. Labour gained the most seats in Thanet over any council area in the country.[5]

Initially after the 2019 election, the Conservative party led the council with a minority[6] - however, after a vote of no confidence in October 2019, Labour now operate a confidence-and-supply arrangement with the Greens and Thanet Independents.[7]
