The incumbent councillor is still shown as Labour on the council website despite standing as an independent with no Labour opposition.

29 Independents. Is this a spillover from Rochdale or something completely different?

It seems like the Independent winners in Alexandra, Coldhurst, St Mary's and Waterhead are all associated with the "Oldham Group" formed by the three councillors elected as Conservatives last year in Hollinwood (one of whom lost their seat to Labour) and that Gaza was a factor. Nyla Ibrahim in Werneth left Labour over the Gaza issue as well.
I think the Independents outside Oldham town are essentially localist groups.

Failsworth E Lab gain from Failsworth Ind Looks like this was assisted by an independent candidate splitting the localist vote - result was Lab 731, FIP 712, Ind 620.

Most are, but were actually running already close to Labour in last year local elections and Gaza give them the push to take the few hundreds more votes they needed (for exemple, the one in Coldhurst was 172 votes away from a seat last year). The Independent in Failworth W is a former councillor for the Failsworth Independent Party (he founded the party with his wife, who was the chair, until the other councillors decided to get rid of them). Retired cop. The Independent in Royton S is a running-mate of the current Independent councillor (accused by Labour of being behind a local libellious blog and in legal trouble for not declaring interests under the Localism Act). Same thing in Shaw (but without the libel and in trouble for the parish council sending a booklet about them just before the purdah instead).

The Independents here have organised themselves as follows:
"Oldham Group" (6): the two remaining from those elected last year in Hollinwood (originally as Conservatives) together with the councillors elected this year in Alexandra, Coldhurst, Waterhead and St Mary's
Simply "Independent" (4): the two in Failsworth West and two in Werneth (Nyla Ibrahim who was re-elected this year after leaving Labour and also Shoab Akhtar who left Labour at the same time)
"Royton Independents" (2): the two in Royton South
"The Shaw Independents" (2): the two in Shaw
The council composition is Lab 27, Lib Dem 10, Con 8, Failsworth Independent Party 2, Ind-OG 6, Ind-RI 2, Ind-TSI 2, Ind 4.
