Map showing the winner in each ward for the 2019 Portsmouth City Council election
Elections to Portsmouth City Council took place on Thursday 2 May 2019, alongside other local elections across the country. The seats contested in this election were last contested in 2015. The Conservative Party had 8 seats they were defending, the Liberal Democrats 5 and Labour 1 seat. A by-election occurred within the vacant Cosham seat from last years election, due to the sitting Conservative standing down. No party gained a majority from this election, and therefore the council remains under no overall control.
Following the election, the Liberal Democrat minority administration that was formed in 2018 continued in office.[2] Labour abstained on the vote for the council leader, with the Liberal Democrats winning the vote by virtue of being the single largest party.
^Alongside the third of the council's 14 seats which are being contested, a by-election is taking place in Cosham for a Conservative standing down.
