Cambridgeshire saw a relatively quiet night with elections only taking place in Peterborough and Cambridge. While results in Cambridge echoed those from 2023, it was a good night for Labour as they held all their seats in the city, and became the largest party in Peterborough. Poor national poll numbers and the rise of the Peterborough First group made it a bad night for the Conservatives in Peterborough.
