Council stayed the same size however, as four wards were added. Mayor Marion Dewar swept the city in her re-election, winning all but one ward. Her best results came in the city's urban wards, with her best ward being Capital, where she won 63.4% of the vote. She also topped 60% in By-Rideau, St. George's and Wellington wards. Her only loss was in Elmdale, which Nicol won narrowly by 43 votes.
