Reform UK is set to take control of Lancashire County Council following the local elections.
The party has won more than the 43 seats it needs to form a majority – and 53 of the 84 available in total.
The Conservatives have lost 40 of the 48 seats they held, while Labour have lost 27 of the 32 they held, following the previous local county council election in 2021.
Returning Officer Mark Wynn said: "I would like to say thank-you to everyone who helped to make sure the election process ran smoothly in the county.
"A lot of hard work went on behind the scenes to ensure people were aware that the elections were taking place.
"I would particularly like to thank everyone who staffed the polling stations throughout yesterday, as well as today's vote counters who have worked diligently so I could quickly and accurately announce the results.
"Congratulations to all new councillors."
