Votes counted at various locations across Cambridgeshire revealed the Liberal Democrats gained 11 seats since the last election in 2021. The Conservatives lost 18 seats and now have 10, the same number as Reform UK. Labour now holds five seats after losing four, the Green Party gained three and Independent parties won two seats.

Lucy Nethsingha, the leader of the Liberal Democrat group on the authority, was re-elected to the county council, this time standing in Cambourne instead of her previous ward, Newnham in Cambridge. She told the Local Democracy Reporting Service she was "relieved and delighted" to be back at the authority. Nethsingha added her party would look to work with others, as it was "really important that parties work together to try and get the best outcomes for Cambridgeshire".

Alex Beckett, a re-elected Liberal Democrat councillor, told the BBC it had "been an absolutely fantastic day" for the party. He added it was "great to see" the Liberal Democrats had "taken seats from both sides, we are the real party to beat right now".
