The council has had no single party in overall control since 2006 and before Thursday's voting it was being run by a coalition between Labour and Liberal Democrats.
The two parties agreed to share power after last year's local election, when the Conservatives made sizeable gains.
After the 2021 election, the Tories were the largest party with 24 seats - but 29 are needed for a majority.
Council leader Peter Marland said the current coalition had "put party politics aside and governed for the majority of people in Milton Keynes”.
