The 2024 Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council election took place on Thursday 2 May 2024 to elect all 72 seats to Dudley Council, alongside the other local elections across the United Kingdom being held on the same day.[2]
Prior to the election the council had been under Conservative majority control since the 2021 election.
The Conservatives lost control of the council, with no party having an overall majority and Labour and the Conservatives ending up with the same number of seats.[3] After a week of negotiations it was announced that the existing Conservative leader, Patrick Harley, would remain leader of the council (and therefore appoint the council's cabinet) while Labour would be in charge of the majority of the council's scrutiny committee chairmanships and the mayoralty.[4]
