Cllr Elizabeth Campbell, Leader of the Kensington and Chelsea Conservative Group, said: \u201cThank you to all the officers here \u2013 you\u2019ve all been incredibly calm, incredibly professional and I can\u2019t thank you enough.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s time to go home, time to go to bed, time to wake up for a new dawn and to deliver what we promised on the doorstep.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kensington and Chelsea has been a Conservative majority council since it was created in 1965. Polling had suggested this was unlikely to change with the borough seen as one of the party\u2019s most secure in the capital.<\/p>\n
Final results for the borough came in after 8am on Friday after an overnight count. Some candidates had already left the Town Hall as the count had \u201cno end in sight\u201d, the LDRS understands.<\/p>\n
Labour Leader Kasim Ali held his seat in Notting Dale, alongside fellow Labour Councillors Claire Simmons and Portia A Thaxter. He said he was proud of the 45 percent increase in Labour councillors on Kensington and Chelsea Council.<\/p>\n
The Liberal Democrats took all three seats in the Earl\u2019s Court Ward \u2013 gaining one seat from the Tories. Cllr Linda Wade was elected for the fifth consecutive term for the ward.<\/p>\n
