Prior to the election the council was under Conservative majority control. The election saw the council go under no overall control.[3] The independent councillors, Greens, Liberal Democrats and Labour formed a coalition called the "West Devon Alliance" which took control, with independent councillor Mandy Ewings being appointed leader of the council at the subsequent annual council meeting on 30 May 2023.[4]
