The 2019 Sunderland City Council election took place on 2 May 2019 to elect members of Sunderland City Council in England. The election took place on the same day as other local elections.

Background

There had been no by-elections on the Council since the 2018 local elections. However, two Liberal Democrat councillors who had won by-elections in 2017 and 2018 were seeking re-election. Also, a Liberal Democrat councillor had stepped down prior to the elections, resulting in a two-seat contest in the Sandhill Ward.{{Cite web|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/sunderland-local-elections-2019-seats-16209193|title=Sunderland local elections 2019: The key seats to watch out for|last=Harrison|first=James|date=2019-05-02|website=nechronicle|access-date=2019-05-06}}

Sitting St Chad's councillor and former mayor Stuart Porthouse was unable to stand for re-election, having been suspended from the Labour Party ahead of the election, after sharing a post online about anti-Semitism.{{Cite web|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/sunderland-councillor-stuart-porthouse-suspended-15939897|title=Councillor suspended by Labour Party after sharing George Galloway post|last=Seddon|first=Sean|date=2019-03-07|website=nechronicle|access-date=2019-05-06}} In Washington, a former Labour councillor had resigned having been expelled from the Labour Party after pleading guilty to attempting to sexually communicate with a child.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/crime/disgraced-ex-sunderland-councillor-paul-middleton-expelled-from-labour-party-1-9489713|title=Disgraced ex-Sunderland councillor Paul Middleton expelled from Labour Party|website=www.sunderlandecho.com|language=en|access-date=2019-05-06}}

The Labour Party, Conservatives and UKIP all fielded 25 candidates in the election. The Liberal Democrats fielded 19 candidates, and the Greens 24. In addition, there were 4 Independent candidates, 3 Populist Party candidates, and one each from For Britain and the Democrats and Veterans.

Election results

The election saw Labour defend 12 seats and lose 10. The Conservatives held the seat they were defending in St Michael's, and gained from Labour in Fulwell, St Peter's, St Chad's and Barnes. The Liberal Democrats defended their seat in Pallion and one seat in Sandhill,they gained a second seat in Sandhill and gained seats in Millfield and Doxford. UKIP won their first ever seats on Sunderland City Council, taking the Ryhope, St Anne's and Redhill wards from Labour. In a close result, the Greens also gained their first seat, taking Washington South from Labour by 3 votes.{{Cite web|url=https://www.sunderlandecho.com/news/politics/how-a-night-of-drama-unfolded-at-the-sunderland-city-council-elections-2019-1-9748143|title=How a night of drama unfolded at the Sunderland City Council elections 2019|website=www.sunderlandecho.com|language=en|access-date=2019-05-06}}

Following the elections, Graeme Miller, the Labour leader of the Council, blamed his Party's fortunes on their Brexit stance, warning "We need to think carefully about what Brexit has done here, people have voted against the Labour Party on that."{{Cite web|url=https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/sunderland-local-elections-labour-brexit-16223371|title=Sunderland Labour leader blames handling of Brexit on 'terrible' night|last=Harrison|first=James|date=2019-05-03|website=nechronicle|access-date=2019-05-06}}

The election result was the worst for the Labour Party in Sunderland since the Council was set up in 1973, although they had previously lost 9 councillors in the 1982 local elections. It was the Conservatives' best result since 2011, and the best result for the Liberal Democrats since 1982 (when they stood as the SDP/Liberal Alliance).
