Kristen Reform UK members in Worcestershire are promising to cut spending and end what they call "woke politics", despite not having overall control of the county council after Thursday's elections.
The party is now the biggest on the authority with 27 seats – two shy of an overall majority.
Alan Amos, a former Conservative councillor who defected to Reform earlier this year, retained his Bedwardine seat in Worcester and said his party was capitalising on the failures of Labour and the Tories.
"People want change," he said.
"They want a government that listens to them, for instance, on all these illegal immigrants, on all this nonsense wokeism and all this diversity nonsense.
"People want a government that's going to listen to ordinary people."
Local councils do not have control over nationwide immigration policy, but Reform's leader Nigel Farage has said his party will "resist central government plonking hundreds of these young men in these counties that we now run".
