This was to be the final elections for Daventry District Council due to the poor running of Northamptonshire County Council by the local Conservative Party administration, leading to new unitary authorities for the county being proposed. The Caller Report into the running of Northamptonshire County Council suggested that any elections currently scheduled for 2019 be abandoned and elections for the new authorities held in May 2020.{{Cite web|url=https://www.gov.uk/government/speeches/northamptonshire-county-council-statement|title=Northamptonshire County Council: statement |access-date=6 June 2018|work= Government}} Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in England, these were delayed to May 2021.
The make up of the council after the elections was 30 Conservative councillors, 5 Labour councillors and 1 Liberal Democrat councillor.{{Cite web|url=http://www.opencouncildata.co.uk/council.php?c=185&y=2018 |title=Local Elections 2019 |access-date=6 June 2018|work=Open Council Data}}
