2019 wasn't a great election for the unionist parties in this council with the DUP, UUP and TUV losing a combined total of six seats.
This year, with an increasing Alliance vote, the Ulster Unionist Party could lose their position as the second largest party and subsequently bringing an end to an overall unionist majority on the council.
Alliance currently hold seven seats on the council and have their eyes on a potential for three gains with a second seat in Antrim, one in Ballyclare and one in Glengormley Urban.
At the last election, Sinn Féin overtook the SDLP to become the largest nationalist party on the council and they will be hoping to gain seats in Antrim and Dunsilly.
The TUV lost both their seats on the council in 2019, however party stalwart Mel Lucas will hope to win back a seat in Ballyclare which was lost when former TUV councillor David Arthurs ran as an independent in 2019.
