Exeter had previously been granted permission to become a unitary authority, with local elections postponed until 2011. https://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/8508317.stm 'Super councils' in Exeter and Norwich get go ahead BBC 30 April 2019 When the Coalition Government won the general election earlier that year, Exeter's permission to form a unitary authority was overturned. Because of this, the High Court ruled that those councillors who had stayed on beyond their four-year term were no longer constitutionally elected, and would need to seek re-election. This resulted in there being an election in every ward in September to renew the mandate for the wards. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/pickles-stops-unitary-councils-in-exeter-norwich-and-suffolk Pickles stops unitary councils in Exeter, Norwich and Suffolk Department for Communities and Local Government 30 April 2019 However, no election was needed in Pennsylvania ward, as a by-election had been held on 6 May, the day on which the local elections would ordinarily have taken place, to fill a vacancy for the seat that would have been due for re-election in 2010 in any case. Therefore, the winner of the May by-election was deemed to be elected to represent the ward for a full four-year term. The result of the May by-election is included in the results given. Background The previous election in 2008 had left the council under no overall control with the Liberal Democrats as the largest party on 13 seats, followed by the Conservatives on 12, Labour on 11 and the Liberal Party on four. However, the week before the election, two Liberal Democrat councillors defected to Labour in protest against the party's coalition with the Conservatives.https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/resignations-mark-growing-lib-dem-revolt-over-coalition-2070091.html Resignations mark growing Lib Dem revolt over Coalition 4 September 2010 The Independent Andrew Grice 30 April 2019 30 April 2019 https://web.archive.org/web/20190430203714/https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/resignations-mark-growing-lib-dem-revolt-over-coalition-2070091.html dead This meant that Labour were the largest party going into the election, on 13 seats to the Conservatives' 12 and the Liberal Democrats' 11.
