Minister for London Paul Scully has said his home council of Sutton in south London is “close in a lot of areas”.
One of three Lib Dem run councils, Sutton has been targeted by the Conservatives as a potential gain.
Unusually for a Lib Dem, Sutton Leave voted in the 2016 Brexit referendum and elected Conservative MPs to represent two parliamentary seats.
In 2018, the Conservatives doubled their seats on the council to 18, and are now looking to increase their share and potentially snatch a victory.
Mr Scully, MP for Sutton and Cheam, said: “Although the Lib Dems have been in power for a long time, it’s always been on small margins.”
Mr Scully predicts the council could be decided by “split votes”, where residents vote for candidates of multiple parties in their ward.
“It’s all to play for,” Mr Scully added.
