The election saw the Conservatives suffering heavy losses, which were in turn picked up by the various other parties. The Labour Party emerged as the single largest force on the 57 seat council, although all parties fell well short of the 29 seats needed for a majority. The election was particularly devastating for the Conservatives in the region given that they had controlled the council since its creation in 1974. Following the election control of the council was undertaken by a minority administration composed of Independent, SNP, and SDP-Liberal Alliance councillors. The councils new convenor was the Independent councillor Geoffrey Hadley.2014-08-13 Obituary: Dr Geoff Hadley MBE, botanist and politician https://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/obituary-dr-geoff-hadley-mbe-botanist-and-politician-1529184 2022-08-08 The Scotsman en Results 1986 Grampian Regional Council election resultp.12p.6 Scottish Labour Party 17 - - 2 29.8 25.3 32,712 2.0 Scottish Conservative Party 15 - - 13 26.3 27.2 35,144 13.2 SDP–Liberal Alliance 13 - - 7 22.8 25.5 32,980 8.5 Scottish National Party 8 - - 5 14.0 16.0 20,682 4.6 Independent (politician) 4 - - 2 7.0 5.6 7,208 1.7 Green Party (UK) 0 - - - 0.0 0.5 611 New Ward results July 2015 References Category:1980s in Aberdeen 1986 Grampian
