The 2022 Flintshire County Council election took place on 5 May 2022 to elect all 67 councillors on Flintshire County Council in Wales, as part of the 2022 Welsh local elections.
The council remained under no overall control, being run by Labour as a minority administration.
Prior to the election, Labour held 34 of the 70 seats and ran the council with the support of some of the independent councillors. Of the 27 independent councillors prior to the election, 16 sat together as the "Independent Alliance" led by Mike Peers, 3 formed the "New Independents" led by Patrick Heesom, and 3 formed the "Independent Group" led by Tony Sharps. Independent councillor Andy Hughes sat with the Liberal Democrats, and the other four independent councillors were not aligned to any group.[1][2][3]
New ward boundaries took effect for this election, reducing the number of seats from 70 to 67.[4]
The election saw the council remain under no overall control, but with Labour remaining the largest party, taking 31 of the 67 seats. Labour managed to form a minority administration after the election with informal support from the Liberal Democrats.[5]
