UK Local Elections 2026Background
St Neots Eynesbury is a three-member ward of Huntingdonshire District Council. It covers Eynesbury and adjoining parts of southern St Neots in Cambridgeshire. The Local Government Boundary Commission designed it to return three district councillors.
The May 2026 all-out election returned Reform UK's Tony Nelson and Ricky Ioannides alongside independent Sam Smith. Fourteen candidates contested the three seats, and turnout was 35%. This result is the baseline for the ward's later single-seat contest.
The August 2026 by-election drew 2,138 valid votes. Liberal Democrat Deanna Seeff won 1,024 votes, or 47.9%, against Reform UK's 647, or 30.3%. The Liberal Democrats therefore gained one of the ward's three seats from Reform, despite Reform's vote share rising by 3.1 percentage points.
