The East Midlands is represented by forty-seven [[Member of Parliament (UK)|Members of Parliament]] (MPs), a gain of one after [[2023 Periodic Review of Westminster constituencies|the most recent Periodic Review]]. At the [[2024 United Kingdom general election|2024 general election]], the region elected twenty-nine [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] MPs, fifteen [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservatives]], two from [[Reform UK]] and one [[Independent politician|independent]]. Labour Party MPs were primarily elected in Derbyshire (where they won all eleven seats) and Nottinghamshire, whilst Conservatives were mostly elected in Leicestershire and Lincolnshire.

In 2009, Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire county councils changed control from Labour to Conservative. From 1993 to 2005, Northampton was controlled by Labour, and is now controlled by the Conservatives. Lincolnshire and Leicestershire have historically been Conservative controlled and hence all the main county councils are now Conservative controlled.
