Labour has regained control of Blaenau Gwent council after five years in which it has been controlled by independent councillors. The former leader of the council, independent Nigel Daniels, was among those who lost his seat.
The local Labour Party called it a "fantastic" gain. Turnout however fell to 32.49% (a drop from 40% in 2017). The full results from the local authority are:
- Welsh Labour: 21
- Independent: 12
