Labour has lost seats at councils across Greater Manchester and no longer holds a majority in Oldham. The party suffered losses, predominantly to independent candidates, in several areas where the war in Gaza was said to be a decisive factor for some voters.
Bolton council remains in no overall control after Labour - which remains the largest party in the borough - lost five seats, but won three.
The Lib Dems fell one seat short of securing a majority at Stockport council where the party gained two seats from Labour. Elsewhere in Greater Manchester, Labour comfortably held onto Tameside and Wigan councils but lost seats to independents in both boroughs.
The Conservatives suffered losses in Oldham and Wigan, but made gains in Tameside and Bolton where they also lost a seat.
