No single party or political grouping has overall control of Devon County Council following the results of the Local Elections on Thursday May 1.
Sixty seats in 58 council divisions were up for election in Devon – two divisions, Exmouth and Broadclyst, have two elected councillors each.
The Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems) won the majority of seats, 27, but they did not reach the 31 threshold (more than 50 per cent) required to give the party overall control of the council.
Reform UK won 18 seats.
The Conservative Party, which previously had overall control, ended election day with seven councillors.
The Green Party won six seats with two going to independent candidates.
The Labour Party won no seats.
Each grouping will now hold talks in order to agree a coalition.
